In Linux, and many other systems, when navigating the terminal you can press Tab to auto complete a directory or file name.

I’m wondering if there is anything like that in the MySQL terminal. For example, if I want to get the description of someTableWithRidiculousLongName I could type describe someTableW then Tab and it would auto-complete the rest.

Does anything like that exist in the MySQL terminal?
