Auto Completion Intro Video

Auto completion suggests commands, subcommands, command line arguments and command histories that are currently available. The command snippets from the QuickBar are also available in the completion list. Auto completion greatly increases text input speed, because you don’t have to memorize a large number of commands and type every letter in a command.

Auto completion supports:

• Linux Shell commands.
• MacOS Shell commands.
• Windows Cmd commands.
• PowerShell commands.
• Commands of any command line program, such as Git
• Command Snippets from the QuickBar

Usage:

Windows
