Completion: menu-complete from second TAB hit onwards

[Julien Duval]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to get a specific completion behaviour (simple but effective).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here is what I'm looking for:

1. When TAB is hit once, complete the command-line with the longest common
prefix AND list all possible completions (at the same time).
This can be easily achieved by putting 'set show-all-if-ambiguous' in
~/.inputrc.

2. If TAB is hit again after that, then cycle through the possible
completions (that is insert the next full match each time TAB is pressed).
Obviously, I cannot bind TAB to menu-complete cause I would lose 1.

It's actually the exact same behaviour you get with 'set
wildmode=list:longest,full' in Vim. I found a lot of articles dealing with
how to get Bash-like completion in Vim, but none discussing the opposite.

Thanks for taking the time to read my request.
