I am trying to troubleshoot why the bash tab-completion isn't working on my fedora 19 desktop. I am afraid I just know what else to add to this that might be relevant.

The programmable completion feature in Bash permits typing a partial command, then pressing the [Tab] key to auto-complete the command sequence. [1] If multiple completions are possible, then [Tab] lists them all. Let's see how it works. Tab completion also works for variables and path names.
Depending on your package manager, you have to manually source this file in your ~/. bashrc file. Reload your shell and verify that bash-completion is correctly installed by typing type _init_completion .
Bash completion is a bash function that allows you to auto complete commands or arguments by typing partially commands or arguments, then pressing the [Tab] key. This will help you when writing the bash command in terminal.
I solved this problem using the solution given at https://askubuntu.com/questions/325807/arrow-keys-tab-complete-not-working.
