I’m using V8 javascript interpreter on the command line but it has no tab-completion.
Is it possible to add it somehow?

I presume you mean the
shellsample? (scons sample=shell). It doesn’t support tab completion out of the box (there’s no config option, etc.), but if you are comfortable with C/C++, it should be relatively trivial to enhance it to add tab completion using GNU Readline.Likely it doesn’t use
readlineby default because of licensing issues (and why introduce the dependency for a sample), but that doesn’t stop you from supporting it in your installation.
