For some reason, bash did not want to do the tab completion thing. zhs is
working fine though. I will set it back to bash, just to make sure.
Warm regards,

Why would you have used zhs? Call me weird for asking, but... isn't it
set to bash by default?

Hi,
The issue has been sorted. Just changed the shell from bash to I think
zhs.
The last time I used a text based system was back in 93 or so with
MS-DOS..

Hello,
Can we just go back to basics and check that we understand the situation
right.
You are going to your applications cmd + shift + a.
You are navigating to the utilities folder.
You are selecting terminal?
Then attempting tab completion?
If you are in agreement with the above. I'm sure the terminal is giving a
response. Whether it's an error tone or a message of some description.
How does the terminal respond?
Have you hacked your .bashrc or .bash_prifiles?
Is there more than one account on that machine? If so, do the other
accounts behave the same?

Hi,
Documents starts with a capital D. Type ~/Doc <tab>.

Hi there,
In this case, typing something like "cd ~/doc" then hitting the tab
key should complete "cd ~/documents" This is not happening. How do I
fix the problem?

Hello,
This is rather a complicated question, since the terminal invokes a
shell and the shell is then invoking other programs and there is no
mechanism in UNIX to have those other programs tell the shell what
arguments they will accept. On the other hand bash and zsh and tcsh
shells will all do file name completion and can be programmed to do
completion of of other commands unfortunately not many commands are
so programmed. EMACS which has a toolkit called emacsspeak which can
with some work be compiled to work on the Macintosh has a fairly
extensive completion scheme. In places where emacs is using the
command line at the bottom of the editor screen, and in some other
areas where the text editor is not really working as a text editor,
Emacs accepts a question mark to tell you what it expects and an tab
(or perhaps an escape) to complete the current argument. Emacs took
these structures from an 1080's Operating System called TOPS-20,
and almost every completion scheme since has followed this example.T
To get back to the shell, when you type the command "defaults" and
then provide arguments such as read com.apple.textedit those
arguments are first interpreted by the shell and then once and only
once you hit the return key are passed to the defaults command. So
what this means is that unless the shell knows all 10,000 programs
available to it it can not provide complete completion code.
Best wishes,
Jonathan

Hi there folks,
Is there anyway to have the tab key complete what you are typing
into the terminal?
If there is, please let me know. Thanks so long.
