So I read Cisco doc, and I see that TAB is really designed to show all possibilities when you type the first few characters of a token. It is not a good choice in between words, although it does something.
VyOS seems to have the opposite problem: although the doc would suggest otherwise, it appears that in VyOS, TAB and ? are treated exactly the same. And VyOS only shows you possibilities for the next token. Neither one of the cases, Cisco, VyOS/Brocade, seem to represent perfection. I have not looked closely at Juniper. And I do not know that VyOS is really the same as Brocade -- maybe just an approximation.
