[Help-bash] Asking about feature: repeat last autocompletion.

[David Weeks]

Hi All,

I'm wondering if there is a bash feature that will repeat the last 
autocompleted field.  I've been having to rename some file names 
manually, due to absurd control and unicode characters, and use 
autocomplete to enter the majority of the filename.  If we had a feature 
that would repeat the last autocompleted entry, I would not have to type 
the same thing twice.

These filenames can be long, and they are full of troublesome 
characters, like unicode, which I cannot type without knowing the code 
point(s), so repeating the name, I then fix the "naughty bits."

If there isn't such a feature, I'll submit a bug/request for it. It 
would be a real time saver to have a way to repeat the last 
autocompleted entry, without retyping it.

Thank you in advance.
