Talk about the the issue here.

fish verison installed: 2.3.1
OS/terminal used: OS X / Terminal.app

Reproduction steps

  1. mkdir -p at-dr2/asdf dr
  2. cd dr/a<tab>

Expected results

Fish should not remove manually typed valid directories when performing completion. This should result in an error and no completion should occur.

Actual results

~ $ cd at-dr2/asdf/

I don't agree with the "no completion" verdict. Dropping a menu for a single fuzzy completion instead of automatically selecting it could be a good idea though (or allowing it to be configured).

I think it's reasonable to say, if there's an exact match of a path component, do not attempt fuzzy completion on that component even if we get no completions.
