Complaining about "fir<TAB>" not exclusively tab completing to "firefox"
is a bit silly IMHO. What if you have firestarter or firstaidkit (just
to name a couple) installed? Would you complain if either was added to
the desktop install because you couldn't type "fir<TAB>" and get
firefox?
Yes, tab completion is great, and I've used it for many years in many
incarnations. I've learned to adapt to a changing set of installed
programs. Also, I consider completion more useful for arguments than
commands.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
