No grub TAB completion?

Postby rolf » Mar 28th, '16, 04:12

Code: Select all
GNU GRUB  version 0.97  (640K lower / 3072K upper memory)

 [ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported.  For the first word, TAB
   lists possible command completions.  Anywhere else TAB lists the possible
   completions of a device/filename. ]


I started with grub in Mandrake, then tried to accept grub2 for the past couple of years, recently came back to Mageia w/legacy grub, now running an up-to-date MGA5.

Having just put MGA6d1 on a testing partition and putting grub legacy on the MBR of that disk, I booted to MGA5 and used vi to edit menu.lst for the purpose of making a chainloader entry for MGA6d1.

It's been a while, so I might be mistaken but when I pressed TAB to complete a command, e.g.

root (hd3,TAB
or
roTAB

the cursor in konsole justs jumps 5 or so spaces, like a tab input.

Maybe it doesn't really work in vi, so I invoked the grub shell and no TAB completion there, either, behavior is the same as in vi.

Is this a known issue or am I missing something?

Thanks.
