[Software] Prevent bash from expanding cd in files

[/usr/]

Consulted the manual pages, but to no avail. How do I prevent Bash from suggesting filenames when using <Tab> to autocomplete cd command?

Example:

Code: Select all

$ ls
foo bar baz/
$ cd ba<Tab>
bar baz/

I would expect it to autocomplete with baz/ as bar is a regular file.

Bash on this machine doesn't offer alternatives for cd when there is only one relevant directory:

Code: Select all

[tom@fen ~]$ ls -F
bar  baz/  foo
[tom@fen ~$ cd baz/  <- output of: cd ba <tab>

Here's what's not installed and what installed:

Code: Select all

[tom@fen ~]$ apt policy bash*

@NorthEast , you are quite correct. That was something with my old

Code: Select all

.bashrc
