+1

I think the expected behaviour is/should be:
* It only auto-completes program names that have been run with it before:
 -> reduces noise and resource usage

* It won't keep auto-complete those that refused to run:
 -> also eliminates history clutter from junk input

* On start-up, it displays the most recent program that was run.

Would you be willing to file this upstream? 

Feature requests here are unlikely to be seen by upstream developers.

This is already implemented

already implemented

already implemented

If I understand the bug reporter correctly, the only thing at is missing is auto-completion of commands in $PATH. Right?

Comment 4 Tomas Pelka 2009-10-12 11:01:35 UTC

Yes you are, completion works only for commands that was already used.

Comment 5 Kevin Fenzi 2011-02-20 20:03:29 UTC

This should be fixed now in the 4.8 version in rawhide. ;)
