Question

I tried 

COMPREPLY=( '"' )

but in command line I get \" instead. Is getting just a single double quote as a completion option possible?

Was it helpful?

Solution

No, getting just a single double quote as a completion option is not possible (as far as I know).

The completion options are shown in the form (or a form) in which they would need to be typed, and in order to get a single double quote, you would have to type \", so that's what bash shows you.
