Since I updated from Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04, autocomplete with environmental variables do not work. If I type:

ls $HOME<tab>

I get what I want, but if I add a /:

ls $HOME/<tab>

it autocomplete it to:

ls \$HOME/

Where it stops showing what it's on the folder. What can I do to stop this behavior?

Does this answer your question? How to get bash to stop escaping $ during tab completion? – Kulfy Sep 10 '20 at 19:05
I think it doesn't. I have a similar version of that in .bashrc. I guess it is just the updated version of that command. – Federico Zabaleta Sep 10 '20 at 19:08
Earlier I linked the wrong question. Did you try running shopt -s direxpand? – Kulfy Sep 10 '20 at 19:09
