How to disable completion in shell mode?

How to disable completion in shell mode?

[Wenhua Zhao]

Hi,

The auto completion in shell mode (M-x shell) matches to local file
names and commands.  If I run some interactive programs in the shell,
such as ssh or gdb, certainly I don't want local file names to be
matched.  How do I disable the completion function of emacs and use
the native bash auto-completion function?


Thanks for your help.

Even if you disable Emacs's completion, you still won't be able to use 
the remote shell's completion.  Emacs doesn't send anything in a shell 
buffer to the remote system until you type Return.

Perhaps you should use M-x terminal-emulator.
