I'm using zsh, maybe you misunderstood what I was doing. I'm typing the start of the filename, and I was expecting it to stop at what's common between them.

Let's say I have these:
  • 2020-11-24-185510_219x157_scrot.png
  • 2020-11-24-185513_218x191_scrot.png
  • 2020-11-24-185516_169x153_scrot.png

When I type rm 2020<tab>, it autocompletes to rm 2020-11-24-18551 then i type rm 2020-11-24-18551*.
But in the case when there's a single file it does rm 2020-11-24-185510_219x157_scrot.png * because it completes the whole name and adds a space afterwards. I'm so used to typing it that it has become ingrained.
