$CDPATH does for directories what $PATH does for executables. You can type "ip addr show" (rather than "/sbin/ip) when "/sbin/" is in $PATH. You can type "cd tomh" (rather than "/root/path/to/poc/tomh") when "/root/path/to/poc/" is in $CDPATH. To the OP: CDPATH's tab completion's not working for me on F15. I've never used tab completion this way before so it's a new "non-feature" for me; I'm tempted to build an F14 VM to see it in action and to compare the contents of their respective "/etc/bash_completion.d/". -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
