[CalendarServer-users] Allowing read-only sharing of calendars between users?

[Nick]

I have implemented a simple hack to get around this "b" key issue.  I 
presume the code is Mac-specific so it behaves oddly on my GNU/Linux 
machine?

Anyway, in baseshell.py the line 'readline.parse_and_bind("bind ^I 
rl_complete")' causes the "b" issue on my box.  The fix (for me at 
least) is to change this line in to 'readline.parse_and_bind("tab: 
complete")'.

I imagine there are several other (and certainly better) ways to fix 
this, but it works for me and I'm not likely to need to change ACLs much 
more now that they're set up.  If there are any horrible implications of 
what I've done I haven't encountered them yet.  One upside is that with 
my patch the shell tool now allows for tab-completion.

Attached is the patch file.
