Tab completions

What is it

Completions feature fuzzy search capability that provides you with approximate matches for your queries. If you’re unsure about the exact syntax or spelling, you’ll be provided with suggestions based on your input, even if it’s not an exact match.

How to access it

• Type out the beginning of your command, then press TAB.
• To search for options and flags, you must type and press TAB.
• Forgo TAB by enabling “Open completions menu as you type” in Settings > Features > Terminal Input

How to use it

Completions

1. Type git checkout (note the space) and then press TAB
2. A menu will show all of your local branches. You can select one using your mouse or the UP ↑/DOWN ↓ arrow keys

Completions on Aliases

• Shell aliases - This is an alias for an entire command. For example, if you have gc=git checkout in alias, typing gc and hitting TAB should give you the same completion options as for git checkout .
• Command aliases - This is an alias for a subcommand. For example, this could be setting git status to git st. With completions support, we could now suggest completions for git status even if you typed in git st.

Note

Terminal Tip
The “Tab key behavior” setting under Settings > Features > Terminal Input can change the action that Tab is bound to. If Tab is not bound to open the completions menu, ctrl-space will be assigned as the default keybinding. Note: You can also enable the “Open completions menu as you type” in Settings > Features > Terminal Input so that the completions menu opens automatically.
