Thanks for the post.

I just used it to do my completion fomr my code directory. dis a smal modification. insed of using fixed number of char to cut, I use perl to remove alla directories exeps the last one. this makes the code more flexible if you ever want to move your files.

c() { cd ~/code/$1 ; }


_code() {

    local cur

    cur=${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD]}

    COMPREPLY=( $( compgen -d ~/code/$cur | perl -pi -e 's/.*\/(.*)/$1\//g' ) )

}

complete -o nospace -F _code c
