CLI autocomplete

[schef]

Hey. Has anybody played with autocomplete for command line interface. I like it alot and it is very helpfull. Now a autocomplete would be cool!

Here is what comes to mind:

• key as arrows and tab should be treated as return with the same text written again.

• when is pressed we should compare our last argument with some kind of list.

• when up and down arrows are pressed we should also go through some history list. I think 5 or 10 are enough.

This is very good news. :) You said that and history is already implemented. Is there a example or can u share how to use them already?

Hi, Regarding first concern. Pressing "up" shall print in command line historical command starting from last entered. If command "history" is showing for example:

• [ 0] cmd_0
• [ 1] cmd_1
• [ 2] cmd_2
• [ 3] cmd_3

than by pressing "up" you will see cmd_3, "up" again and you will see cmd_2 and so on... But in the example you can observe following bug: if you have commands from [ 0] to [ 7] and if you will press "up" as many times to see what was cmd [ 0] than CLI will be blocked until .

After pressing copletion shall be done automatically without any additional . If you need to press enter to see completion results it means that your terminal is not correctly configured. I will try to paste my putty settings here.
