Does anyone else find it extremely annoying when completion clobbers the screen with a menu? It has taken me years to find out that bash supports cyclic tab completion with bind '"\t":menu- complete'. I find that cyclic completion works a lot faster for me than menu-based completion.

Very nice, thanks for the tip. It looks like there is an extra space in there (between the hyphen and the letter 'c'). It should be:

bind '"\t":menu-complete'
