I’m encountering an issue with scp in KDE’s Konsole. When I try to use tab auto-completion for remote directories or files, Konsole doesn’t list or complete them as expected. The scp command itself works if I manually type the full path, but tab completion is missing, which makes navigating remote directories difficult.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice on resolving tab-completion issues in KDE Konsole specifically for scp would be appreciated.
This seems like specific to the bash completion implementation that you use (or of another shell if you aren’t using bash), and not something related to Konsole. The thing to check is whether remote completion works with another terminal program - for example gnome-terminal? I would expect that to not work either.
Usually remote completion only works if you can log in without a password to the remote machine.
autocomplete for remote resources should work if you are using a public key to connect to the remote PC. If you need to enter a password then it won’t work.
Just verified it in KDE Neon.
