Tab-completion with directories/links

when I've a symlink foo linking to a directory bar/ and I start typing f and hit tab, it completes to foo but I'd like to complete it to foo/ so I can immediately add the next character for further completes. How can I do that?

Answer 1

Enable the mark-symlinked-directories option for readline.

1. Edit ~/.inputrc:

   set mark-symlinked-directories on
   

2. Press C-x, C-r to reload the settings.

See section READLINE in the manual page of bash for further documentation.

Answer 2

I don't know if you can do it exactly as you've described, but if you hit tab twice, it should complete the exapansion.
