auto complete directory listing no color

[keak]

I have been wondering for quite a long time now, but say we want to list a folder contents and we type
cd folder1/ + <tab><tab>
to see a list in folder 1.

Is there any way to have this list in color (its kinda hard to tell what is a folder, symlink, etc)

You can either set this up from within your terminal client or your shell .*src file.

What shell are you using?

I am using bash;
would you happen to know the line entry that I should make there in order to have that behavior?

Add this to your .bashrc file

export TERM=xterm-color
export CLICOLOR=true
export LSCOLORS=exfxcxdxbxegedabagacad

no color in tab completition, only as a result of "ls --color"
