Tab key not working in Kubuntu Konsole

I’ve been playing with Kubuntu Intrepid (8.10) for about two weeks and the thing that annoys me most is the autocomplete option in Konsole/shell.

so, if U want to enable it, do following:

sudo nano /etc/bash.bash.rc -> uncomment part # enable bash completion in interactive shells
source /etc/profile

everything should work now ๐Ÿ™‚
