Suppose I want to `cd` to `.config/gedit`. With usual bash, I do: ``` $ cd .co<TAB> ``` which completes it to ``` $ cd .config/ ``` and I can type the rest. With partial path completion enabled, I do ``` $ cd .co<TAB> ``` which completes it to ``` $ cd .config ``` and then only a second Tab keypress completes it to ``` $ cd .config/ ``` Demo: https://asciinema.org/a/549122
