Add backslash when auto-completing folder

[kimbirkelund]

When auto-completion gives one result which is a folder I'd like it to add the backslash so I don't have to, to continue.

+1 That would be great! 👍

I'll probably do this at some point, but you can have this functionality today if you use https://github.com/lzybkr/TabExpansionPlusPlus.

Add something like this to your profile:

Import-Module TabExpansion++
Set-TabExpansionOption -Option AppendBackslash

Works great! Thank you!

Love it.

I added support to PSReadline - 752d186
One difference from TabExpansion++ that I'm not 100% sure I like - if the directory needs to be quoted, I move the cursor inside the quotes. This is often what I want, but not always.

Thats great! Thank you very much!

"if the directory needs to be quoted, I move the cursor inside the quotes." -- This is almost always what I want, since it enables me to keep mashing tab to traverse down deep directory trees.

For commands that take a directory as an argument, it will always be ambiguous whether the user wants to pass the current directory or keep completing. Even so, it's only annoying to keep the cursor inside the quotes if the directory isn't the final argument to the command (I suspect it often is).

For files, I suppose it's unambiguous that the cursor should move outside the quotes.

I like the current implementation. :)
