xrdp tab does not work [duplicate]
I'm using Xubuntu and connecting over RemoteDesktop with Windows 7.
Everything works fine, but the auto_completion in my bash doesn't work. I checked the .bashrc file in my home directory and also the /etc/bash.bashrc.
I uncommend the lines below in my local bashrc configuration and also in bash.bashrc, but nothing changes.
if ! shopt -oq posix; then
if [ -f /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion ]; then
. /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion
elif [ -f /etc/bash_completion ]; then
. /etc/bash_completion
fi
fi
You may find that this is a more general issue with interception of the Tab key under remote XFCE4 sessions, rather than a problem with bash completion itself.
I had a similar issue running XFCE4 over VNC and the workaround for me was to edit the ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml
file to unset the following mapping
< <property name="<Super>Tab" type="string" value="switch_window_key"/>
---
> <property name="<Super>Tab" type="string" value="empty"/>
Note that there may be two entries, and the first already has the value "empty". If this is the case, edit the second entry.
I found this solution online somewhere and can't really take credit for it.
