Re: New script names

["sara fink" <sara.fink () gmail com>]

I'd like to propose a  feature request about which nse script to choose in
the command line. Is it complicated to make tab completion?

There is a similar script in gentoo which helps in less typing commands.
example emerge moz will tab complete to mozilla-firefox.

The name of the script there is gentoo-bashcomp. If there is interest, I can
post here the source.

Thanks in advance
Sara
