+Recently I moved back to [bash](https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/) as my
+default shell. I was previously using [fish](https://fishshell.com/) and got
+used to the cool features it has. But, regardless of that, I wanted to move to a
+more standard shell because I was hopping back and forth with exporting
+variables and stuff like that which got pretty annoying.
+
+So I embarked on a mission to make [bash](https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/)
+more like [fish](https://fishshell.com/) and in the process found that I really
+missed autosuggest with TAB on changing directories.
+
+I found a nice alternative that emulates [zsh](http://zsh.sourceforge.net/) like
+autosuggestion and autocomplete so I added the following to my `.bashrc` file.
+
+```bash
+bind "TAB:menu-complete"
+bind "set show-all-if-ambiguous on"
+bind "set completion-ignore-case on"
+bind "set menu-complete-display-prefix on"
+bind '"\e[Z":menu-complete-backward'
+```
+
+I haven't noticed anything wrong with this and all was working fine until I
+restarted my machine and then I got this error.
+
+![Profile bind error](/assets/posts/profile-bind-error/error.jpg)
+
+When I pressed OK, I got into the [Gnome
+shell](https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GnomeShell) and all was working fine, but
+the error was still bugging me. I started looking for the reason why this is
+happening and found a solution to this error on [Remote SSH Commands - bash bind
+warning: line editing not enabled](https://superuser.com/a/892682).
+
+So I added a simple `if [ -t 1 ]` around `bind` statements to avoid running
+commands that presume the session is interactive when it isn't.
+
+```bash
+if [ -t 1 ]; then
+  bind "TAB:menu-complete"
+  bind "set show-all-if-ambiguous on"
+  bind "set completion-ignore-case on"
+  bind "set menu-complete-display-prefix on"
+  bind '"\e[Z":menu-complete-backward'
+fi
+```
+
+After logging out and back in the problem was gone.
