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.

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.
