Did anyone encounter this issues and how can it be solved? System I use: OS: Ubuntu 17.10 Emacs: 25.2.2 Thanks, Marko ``` ## Andreas Schwab, 2018-04-16 16:25 Subject: Re: Git Bash Completion Not Working In Emacs Message-ID: <87tvsb5db1.fsf@linux-m68k.org> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/87tvsb5db1.fsf%40linux-m68k.org In-Reply-To: ``` On Apr 16 2018, Marko Vasic wrote: > Git bash completion script works perfectly under the terminal, > however, it does not work in Emacs (neither shell nor gui mode).

If you use M-x shell then Emacs handles special keys like TAB itself (and the started shell usually disables its own command line editing). If you use M-x term then Emacs emulates a terminal and lets the running process handle all special keys.
