Disable auto-complete in Linux

Asked by jlp25 in Linux Administration, Linux Networking, Linux Setup

Tags: Debian Linux, Etch

Is there anyway to disable auto-complete in Linux? I'm using SSH to connect to a Mac running Linux Debian etch. When I press Tab twice, I get the following prompt:

"Display all 888 possibilities? (y or n)"

While the prompt's functionality is very useful, I'm running into problems when running MySQL. Specifically, cutting and pasting code containing tabs causes this prompt to come up. As a result, I'm unable to create stored procedures without manually removing the tabs.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.Start Free Trial
