Found the issue. It's not dd specific at all, it has to do with bash's setting of the COMP_WORDBREAKS $ echo $COMP_WORDBREAKS "'><=;|&(: These are word separators for completion words. The command "dd if=<tab>" contains 3 completion words - "dd", "if", and "=" with the current word being "=". If you do the following, it works: $ export COMP_WORDBREAKS=${COMP_WORDBREAKS//=} $ dd if=<tab> I suggest reporting this is a bug in bash_completion, as fixing this is rather complex
