Hi Folks,

Does someone know if it is possible to make the BASH tab completion feature 
act like VIM and rotate through ambiguous completions rather than listing them?

/etc/bash_completion is a rather hefty read, and so far I can't find a way.

ie:

BASH:
ryan at slowest:~$ cd /usr/l{tab}{tab}
lib    local
ryan at slowest:~$ cd /usr/l

VIM:
:sp /usr/l{tab}
:sp /usr/lib/{tab}
:sp /usr/local/{tab}
:sp /usr/l
