Hello, The tab completions in the terminal are controlled by the shell being used. I believe Catalina is using an older bash, and that new accounts created with Big Sir and newer use zsh because of some licensing issues with the bash shell. Zsh can get quite complicated in configuring completion

That is fine for you. Still, for me personally, following what voiceover is saying, getting things repeated when I need remains a challenge, even choosing, configuring a solid voice. For now my goal is to use this mac for things I can do nowhere else, and I am not a programmer. On Sun, 26
