Re: Feature Idea: Enhanced Tab Completion

[Cam Cope]

I'm sorry if the feature has already been implemented, I haven't heard of
any way to implement it. This is what I was thinking of:
Right now, if you run history, it will list out all the recently used
commands, and then you could run !360 to run that history result. Often I'm
looking for a specific command that I don't want to retype the options for.
Instead of having to do history | grep commandname and then !###, just start
typing !commandname and hit tab to see history entries that start with it.
