I am thinking about recoding the tab completion part of dosbox to behave more like readline(). By this I mean that pressing TAB will print out a list of available matches, and only completes the match if 1 match is found. Additionally, if the match is a directory, a trailing / will be added to the command line.

What do you guys think?

dunno the current tab completion is sufficient for most cases. many people just use it to browse through the available exes.

but it's indeed different from the unix style tab completion.
unix tabcompletion is mostly focussed around things that are in the path as dosbox is targetted at the current directory. (i don't have ./ in my path)
