Export variables in bash are now escaped with auto-completion (tab). A change linked to in another post here at Superuser. Is there any change to this issue?

    It is not clear to me what your problem is. Do you want completion of environment variables or not? Could you elaborate?

  • Sorry for the delay. I upgraded from F11 to F15. It was a surprise to me that the new bash now escapes an exported variable's '$' character by default. Thus, borking the use of tab to complete a dir/file name, requiring the arrow key to navigate to the \ character to remove it. (>_<)

I believe you are referring to this issue reported on bug-bash for which there is a patch which is on its way to popular Linux distros.
