Bash autocompletion in Emacs shell-mode

Question

In the GNOME Terminal, Bash does smart auto-completion. For example

apt-get in

becomes

apt-get install
         


        

Answer 1

I make no claims to being an emacs expert but this should solve your problem:

Create: ~/.emacs

Add to it:

(require 'shell-command) (shell-command-completion-mode)

Emacs takes over the shell so BASH settings don't carry through. This will set auto completion for EMACS itself.
