Disabling non-bash-related tab-auto-complete suggestions in jupyter notebook bash kernel
Hiya, thanks for developing/maintaining this!
I think this might be more a question for jupyter (and i do have a post for it on the jupyter discourse), but I also figured I'd ask here as ultimately I think it'll benefit the bash kernel overall, and I'm hoping maybe i get lucky :)
For various reasons I'm working on putting some of my unix intro lessons into jupyter notebooks. But unfortunately even when in the bash kernel, tab-completion is bringing up more than is relevant due to the inclusion of additional auto-completion suggestions, e.g., as in this image:
where all that should pop up is "experiment". This situation basically precludes the ability to use bash tab-completion in a notebook, which is a very sad thing for hopes of teaching it to new-comers.
Anyone know of a way to disable these non-bash auto-completion suggestions? I can't imagine a scenario where they'd be useful at all in a bash kernel, so in general I think it'd be great if we could somehow deactivate them when a bash kernel is active.
Thanks for any help/thoughts!

Please install from the dev branch, and let me know if it fixes it for you.
Ahhh, of course. I was looking at that, but i had it in my head that these (what i was talking about) were somehow python-related, and not just any possible command or something else from bash. I think i see now i was wrong, ha. Thanks, excited to try that out, will let you know!
Closing this issue as I think the situation has improved in 0.9.3 -- reopen if there are further improvements needed
