What if there happens to be a command with the same name?
command goes first
order is shell built in > path > autocd
Then you're likely to enter a command by accident. I would consider that a dangerous misfeature and look to turn it off.
not really tab complete puts a / at the end of autocd directories
Can you not type in the name of the hazardous folder yourself? I'm envisioning trying to autocd into a folder named
reboot
or something.then you would type
reboot/
Does autocd not work without a slash at the end?
it does but if you had a file called reboot tab complete would complete the reboot command and not put the slash thwre, adding the slash specifies that it's a directory
I've got syntax highlighting enabked, so I always notice the different color when I type a commnand.
Don't name your directories "rm" or "fdisk" problems solved
Until I forget about some command or another, and accidentally give a folder the same name.
