## Expected Behavior
<!--- Tell us what should happen -->
upon typing just the path, xonsh `cd` into that. auto-completion for this is not working.

## Current Behavior
<!--- Tell us what happens instead of the expected behavior -->
<!--- If part of your bug report is a traceback, please first enter debug mode before triggering the error
To enter debug mode, set the environment variable `XONSH_DEBUG=1` _before_ starting `xonsh`.
On Linux and OSX, an easy way to to do this is to run `env XONSH_DEBUG=1 xonsh` -->
