Hi, all.
In a terminal, like urxvt. A cd command can differantiate dictionary and file.
For example, a dictionary ~/kernel lists like this:
[~/kernel] ls
linux-2.6/
linux-image-2.6.27-rc9_2.6.27-rc9-10.00.Custom_amd64.deb
linux-image-2.6.27_2.6.27-10.00.Custom_amd64.deb
linux-image-2.6.27-rc7_2.6.27-rc7-10.00.Custom_amd64.deb
When I input cd and [tab] in urxvt, the linux-2.6 was completed. But
in shell-mode it's not, and stop at "linux-", waiting for input.
Another instance:
In shell-mode, the commands, like install, in "apt-get <command>", are
not completed too.
Shall we make shell-mode more smart, and abandon the terminal away?

That's not a feature of the terminal, it's a feature of the shell.
I use bash and bash_completion, and it fine works in shell-mode. What
are you using?

This has nothing to do with the terminal emulator you use.

Make shell-mode use your usuall bash (or whatever shell you use)
settings and that's it.

Yes. Shell-mode really uses my usual bash /bin/bash.
Now I know completion has nothing to do with terminal.
But I found something with google. It's said because shell-mode handle
completion itself, and it's not so smart as bash completion. Is that
real? Then why the creator didn't just use bash completion?
Does your 'apt-get install's completion work well?

It's quite difficult to do that, mainly because there is no high-level
communication channel emacs can use to talk to the shell.
It's easy to leave _all_ of the editing/completion to the shell (e.g.
term-mode), or _none_ of it (e.g., shell-mode), but it would be very
hard to do it half-way.
