Quick question: is it possible to make the man command auto-complete-able? For example:
$man fire<tab> -> man firefox
You can do it with sudo, so I was curious.

The problem with man firefox is not the autocompletion. the page simply doesn't exist.
Other man pages autocomletion works just fine.

I didn't think firefox had a man page, but I couldn't think of any other program with a distinct name.
pacman -S bash-completion
Sweet, I'll give it a shot

Just a warning about bash-completion --- it is huge and will make your shells take for ever to start up. You would be better off choosing the pertinent functions therefrom and including just them in your bashrc.

pacman -S bash-completion
I think it did not work but restart the X is the solution

cannot reproduce.
Well "forever" for a shell is about 1-2 seconds.
I need to have my shells start up instantly. Also all those functions take up a good portion of memory when you are running ~12 shells at any one time.

Added Solved flag. Sorry, I always forget to do that!
