I’m moving away from Windows (yay!) and need to bring a few features with me. Microsoft added this auto complete feature to PowerShell recently and I need something similar:

I found this package which is helpful, but it requires you to hit tab before you get a list of suggested commands: https://wiki.debian.org/Add Bash Completion

Do I need a different shell entirely? I’m using bash on Debian now.

    Tab completion is the thing on linux, you can probably get something similar with zsh and it’s plugins, maybe with fish too.

      Fish has it built-in.

      It is, after all, a command line shell for the 90s.
