Konsole auto-completion for link pointing to folder

Question

Original Question

When cding into a folder through a link, auto-completes does not add the last / unless I hit tab twice. How to change that behavior?

cd /tmp/ && mkdir test && cd test && mkdir folder && ln -s folder link

Then do cd lin and TAB: it auto-completes to link and not to link/ (but hitting TAB one more time auto-completes to link/).

I want auto-completion to add the / before I want to move into another folder inside that folder.
When cding into a folder that is not a link, the / is automatically added.
There are no files with the same name as the link in that folder.
Everything takes place in Konsole, which runs /bin/bash.

Why? To cd into a folder, the trailing slash is just noise. It's used to separate names of directories, and if no name follows, there is no reason to separate the first name from anything, i.e. cd /tmp already does the job. — user unknown, May 09 '23 at 02:18
Is Konsole performing autocompletion of your keystrokes, or a shell? — Sotto Voce, May 09 '23 at 02:40
It takes place in Konsole, but the tab-completion is performed by the shell. Which shell are you using, zsh? bash? Something else? — Philippos, May 09 '23 at 05:37
Side note (because of "Konsole auto-completion" in the title): Konsole is a terminal emulator, Bash is a shell. Auto-completion is a feature of the latter. Your Bash in xterm would auto-complete in the same way. See What is the exact difference between a 'terminal', a 'shell', a 'tty' and a 'console'? — Kamil Maciorowski, May 10 '23 at 07:49

I followed the answered shared on that post, and:

set mark-directories on
set mark-symlinked-directories on

And now it works :-)
