Title: no sudo tab autocomplete
Post by: nitram on July 22, 2016, 06:49:57 PM

Posting in TC base as this affects TC and dCore. Tab autocomplete works with commands as regular user, but not with sudo, just file pathways. For example, typing cho+tab autocompletes to chown. Typing sudo cho+tab does not autocomplete. On Ubuntu and Debian sudo commands autocomplete using bash. Could not find answer googling, [solved] related to bash, bash-complete, bashrc. Sometimes i type command then Ctrl-a to prepend sudo, workaround. Is it possible to enable sudo command autocomplete in base TC, or just a limitation of Ash?

It's done using bash's extensible autocompletion, which ash does not have. So, to get that you need to install bash and the completion file for sudo.
