auto completion with tab: separate commands and tree structure

[J Rt]

Thanks for your help, got it to work now. All was needed is change the
last line of the autocomplete script to:

complete -o nosort -o filenames -F _pass pass

the nosort option cancels the sorting done in the background by bash.
Found it there, should be ok with bash 4.4 and higher:

https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/215937/disable-sorting-of-compreply-in-bash-complete-function

now when hitting tab tab I get first the (1){pass commands or
options}, then the (2){folders / files}.

The sets (1) and (2) are not sorted though, but I think I will get it
done easily.
