# Description

This removes the old style "cd with abbreviations" that would attempt to
guess what directory you wanted to `cd` to. This would sometimes have
false positives, so we left it off by default in the config.

In the current main, we have much-improved path completions
(#10543) so you can now do `cd
a/b<tab>` and get a much better experience (because you can see the
directory you're about to cd to). This removes the need for the previous
abbreviation system.

# User-Facing Changes

This does remove the old abbreviation system. It will likely mean that
old config files that have settings for abbreviations will now get
errors.

update: here's an example of the error you'll see:

# Tests + Formatting
<!--
Don't forget to add tests that cover your changes.

Make sure you've run and fixed any issues with these commands:

- `cargo fmt --all -- --check` to check standard code formatting (`cargo
fmt --all` applies these changes)
- `cargo clippy --workspace -- -D warnings -D clippy::unwrap_used` to
check that you're using the standard code style
- `cargo test --workspace` to check that all tests pass (on Windows make
sure to [enable developer
mode](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/get-started/developer-mode-features-and-debugging))
- `cargo run -- -c "use std testing; testing run-tests --path
crates/nu-std"` to run the tests for the standard library

This PR allows tab completion for nested directories while only
specifying a part of the directory names. To illustrate this, if I type
`tar/de/inc` and hit tab, it autocompletes to
`./target/debug/incremental`.
