Using the standard command line I have tab auto-completion but this doesn't work if in emacs I use M-x shell. Is this normal? do I need to configure something in the emacs config file?

Does it work for you in "emacs -Q"? If it does, then there's something in your .emacs that causes the trouble. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

To take advantage of Emacs's text processing power, M-x shell RET has to make some trade-offs. This includes no real support of ncurses or no support for native (bash) completion. To get a real interactive terminal, try M-x term RET. Other than that, you could try to write your own completion function in Elisp. Check `shell-dynamic-complete-functions'.
