In bash, zsh, tcsh and other modern #Linux / #Unix shells, you can use the [TAB] key to autocomplete filenames.

01) If there are multiple possibilities, pressing [TAB] will display a list of matching files.

02) If there's only one option, pressing TAB will complete the filename for you.

Very handy to save time and typing. Try it out.

Power shell is the only one that does it right: if there are multiple possibilities, tab complete to the first match. If it’s not the right one, too bad, just hold backspace for 10 seconds
