There once was archlinux user kokoko3k who posted on 2010-07-14: "One of the things i really missed from my glorious amigaos system was the kingcon terminal emulator (![KingCON Screenshot][1],[2]). It featured a simple and useful file browser when autocompletion was requested." Thus, he posted a script for similar use, written in gambas.
A day later, fellow user Procyon followed up with a python version which he kept working on until he stated that he had "actually started working on a minimal rewrite in bash, because the python script is huge and I don't understand it at all anymore. I hope it will be faster too."
Then on 2013-01-24, he posted the first version of it, followed by several updates on the same thread. Beginning of 2014, a git repository was set up for KingBash to enable distributed development and issue tracking. The commit entries have been quoted from the respective posts.
