 What exactly do you mean?  I type in, for example, "vim f{tab}{tab}"
and I'm presented with every file and directory that starts with "f" in
my current working directory. Are you expecting it to do something
*other* than that?  From the bash prompt typing in "f{tab}{tab}" gives
all the *commands* that start with "f".

 What is vim *not* doing that you think it should be doing?
