  • Many thanks for the great explanation :) I've had a look in /etc/bash_completion.d and there is only an hg file present (for Mercurial). Very strange. Commented Jul 25, 2014 at 8:29

    Then it must be elsewhere. Try /usr/share/bash-completion/ or list all the files from vim package or from bash or bash-completion packages (not sure how is it called on ArchLinux). It'll be there somewhere. Commented Jul 25, 2014 at 8:58

    Listing files from the bash-completion package shows /usr/share/bash-completion/completions does contain rules for many programmes, but not vim. Listing files installed with the vim package doesn't show any completion-related files and searching the whole system using find / -name vim also shows no completion-related files.
