I work on a cluster with many users. There are 50 users on the cluster with the same first letter as my username, and a user who has the same name up to the last letter. When I tab complete from /home/e I'd like to see just /home/elsherbini/, rather than having to type a few more characters, tab, and then type the last one. It seems FIGNORE doesn't work on absolute paths, only file suffixes. Is there a way to ignore a curated list of directories for tab completion?GNU bash, version 4.1.2(1)-release (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu)
Ignore specified absolute directories with tab completion?
