[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #62492] cd foo tab should give only directories

[Nicholas Jankowski]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #62492 (project octave):

Currently I'm not sure how much this behavior does or can check what the
context is before providing suggestions. E.g., if I create the following in
the current folder:

foo.m
foofoo.m
foo/
foo2/

then I get the following behavior:

>> foo<tab><tab>
foo/      foo.m     foo2/     foofoo.m
>> cd foo<tab><tab>
foo/      foo.m     foo2/     foofoo.m
>> copy foo<tab><tab>
foo/      foo.m     foo2/     foofoo.m
>> rmdir foo<tab><tab>
foo/      foo.m     foo2/     foofoo.m
>> rm foo<tab><tab>
foo/      foo.m     foo2/     foofoo.m


obviously these include contexts that would expect a file, directory, or both.
 

Are there hooks in place to check the preceeding command and have some sort of
file/folder/both lookup?
