Auto-completion

GENERAL Help
1

Isn’t there any auto-completion in the terminal, like the TAB key did
in a Linux console, or a Windows XP command console ? In QNX the
TAB key in a terminal outputs a tabulation, and does not auto-complete
the current command. I’ve looked in the docs, and found nothing
mentionning it. Is it available ?

Get bash or tcsh, it’s not the Terminal program which does the tab-auto complete, it’s the shell that runs within it. I think QNX comes with these, if not, get from the repository.

Thanks for your answer. I will change my shell !

I heard the default sh included with QNX can actually do auto-completion.

try ESC ESC

I’m going to try ESC ESC, but just in case, and for my
knowledge, how is it possible to change the default shell
used by the terminal ? Thanks for your answer.

Default shell can be changed in /etc/passwd next to your username, it’ll probably be on /bin/sh right now. If you want, you can get a different Terminal program here:

Yes you were right, ESC ESC does auto-completion.
But I’m going to change the shell anyway.
I will also try this other terminal. Thanks !
