# Tab completions

## What is it

Completions feature fuzzy search capability that provides you with [approximate matches](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximate_string_matching) 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`.

**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.*
