  • Thanks. Does this mean I should ideally put the line complete -r vi in /etc/bash_completion? Also what does -r (or other options) mean. Both man complete and complete --help don't seem to tell this. Commented Oct 30, 2012 at 4:26
  • @user13107 bash builtins are hard to find good documentation for. What you probably want to do is get rid of /etc/bash_completion.d/vi or some file similar to that Commented Oct 30, 2012 at 4:58
  • @user13107 Since complete is a bash built-in, use help complete or search for it in the SHELL BUILTIN COMMANDS section in man bash. The latter one is usually more detailed. Commented Jul 2, 2014 at 8:46
