I use DD a lot in terminal for writing images. And as BalenaEtcher and similar products have a lot of issues in Catalina, DD is even more important. Unfortunately it seems like autocomplete is broken for DD now. Can anyone else confirm?

An example; I want to write "ubuntu.iso" which is in my current directory to "/dev/disk2"

While this works:

# sudo dd if=ubuntu.iso of=/dev/disk2

I do not get autocomplete on neither "if" or "of" attributes. I have to manually type ubuntu and manually /dev/disk.

I can't find anyone else having written about this issue. Autocomplete works fine for anything else.
