[Klug-general] bash autocompletion to get file listing without permission

Hi,

On a server where

ls: cannot open directory /home: Permission denied

I can instead get a listing by using autocompletion. For instance, to
get a listing of contents beginning with a in the /home directory:

~a

followed by tab-tab.

Thoughts?

James.
