Terminal tab autocompletion like in Mac OS

  • 772

I could not find a screenshot, but i've seen a colleague of mine doing this:

he has a terminal open in his MacBook Air, starts typing a file name, presses Tab and is given a list of suggestions, like in linux, but has a possibility to move a cursor to select a suggestion. Then he presses Enter and the selected suggestion is entered automatically.

Is there such a think for Ubuntu? KDE?

command-line

    Thanks to user @Melon.

    The shell is called ZSH:

    Mac has a built-in zsh version 4.x.x, you can directly use it, you can also use homebrew to install the latest version 5.0.0.
