My local version of the bash completion script now "improved" support
for -opt:val.
This requires removing the colon from COMP_WORDBREAKS.
If COMP_WORDBRREAKS contains a colon, the behavior of bash completion
for john remains unchanged.
To remove the colon from COMP_WORDBREAKS, , you can add this line to
your ~./bashrc:
export COMP_WORDBREAKS="${COMP_WORDBREAKS//:}"
For additional information, see comments for __ltrim_colon_completions()
in /etc/bash_completion.
Also, check:
http://www.google.com/search?as_q=COMP_WORDBREAKS+colon
After
$ export COMP_WORDBREAKS="${COMP_WORDBREAKS//:}"
bash completion for john works like this:
$ ./john -fo:d[tab]
becomes
$ ./john -fo=d
And then, the usual completion for -opt=val kicks in.
Of course, this also works with --option: (no value), e.g.:
$ ./john --rules:[tab]
becomes
$ ./john --rules=
So, instead of typing '=' instead of ':', you'd have to hit the [tab]
key one more time.
Does this help?
