Konsole auto-completion for link pointing to folder

Question

Original Question

When cding into a folder through a link, auto-completes does not add the last / unless I hit tab twice. How to change that behavior?

cd /tmp/ && mkdir test && cd test && mkdir folder && ln -s folder link

Then do cd lin and TAB: it auto-completes to link and not to link/ (but hitting TAB one more time auto-completes to link/).

I want auto-completion to add the / before I want to move into another folder inside that folder.
When cding into a folder that is not a link, the / is automatically added.
There are no files with the same name as the link in that folder.
Everything takes place in Konsole, which runs /bin/bash.

Why? To cd into a folder, the trailing slash is just noise. It's used to separate names of directories, and if no name follows, there is no reason to separate the first name from anything, i.e. `cd /tmp` already does the job. — user unknown, May 09 '23 at 02:18
Is Konsole performing autocompletion of your keystrokes, or a shell? — Sotto Voce, May 09 '23 at 02:40
It takes place in Konsole, but the tab-completion is performed by the shell. Which shell are you using, `zsh`? `bash`? Something else? — Philippos, May 09 '23 at 05:37
Side note (because of "Konsole auto-completion" in the title): Konsole is a terminal emulator, Bash is a shell. Auto-completion is a feature of the latter. Your Bash in xterm would auto-complete in the same way.

I followed the answered shared on that post, and:

set mark-directories on
set mark-symlinked-directories on

And now it works :-)
