I'm running msys 1.0 on Win2K using the rxvt.exe terminal. By default, tab-completion works, but when I do 'set -o vi' to enable vi-readline editing, tab-completion stops working. Surely I can have my cake and eat it too?

Add this line to your ~/.inputrc:

"\C-i": vi-complete

To enable it in the current session without having to restart it, type this at the Bash prompt:

 bind '"\C-i":vi-complete'

Thanks for the suggestion, but I tried both of these and I still have the same problem. – William Knight Mar 9 '10 at 18:08
But wait! After doing the bind command, I found that if I also unchecked 'Quick-Edit' mode in the options tab of the msys.bat properties, then it worked! thanks! – William Knight Mar 9 '10 at 18:58
