[cseickel]

That sounds a lot like a feature request to me, not a bug.

[jonahfang]

@cseickel , any advance ?

[comatory]

I'd like to request this feature as well. It would be great if <TAB> worked for all commands involving file paths, or at least allow to delegate this functionality to other plugin.
