when I want to see the content of a dir I use ~/ + Tab and it shows me



.bashrc.swp .gitconfig .local/ ...


Is there a way to make the results separated by newlines?



i.e.



.bashrc.swp 
.gitconfig
.local/ ...

          bind 'set completion-display-width 0'


          If you run this in the shell, it will affect the current session. If you want it to affect all sessions, put it at the end of your ~/.bashrc.



          Or you can put this line in your ~/.inputrc:



          set completion-display-width 0
