Tab-completion was too unpredictable for reliable use.
Tab-completion in Bash is a feature that enables users to complete
commands, file paths, and other arguments by pressing the Tab key.
When a user types part of a command or file name and presses Tab,
Bash attempts to auto-complete the input based on available options
in the current directory or the system's command list. If the input
is unique, Bash completes it automatically. If there are multiple
possibilities, pressing Tab twice lists all matching options.
In practice, the lack of explicit indication of a unique completion led
to spamming of the tab key, countering supposed efficiency gains and
breaking focus.
