  • 0

The default TabExpansion in Powershell cycles through the possible completions for the fragment on the command prompt. Internally in the PowerShell host, there’s a circular buffer, and the first TAB fills the buffer and puts the first potential completion on the prompt. Subsequent TABs cycle through the list of possible completions.

How can I modify TabExpansion to just display the set of possible completions when I hit ?

Also, can I invoke the TabExpansion function explicitly from the command prompt, and if so, how?

(If you don’t know what I mean by “modify TabExpansion”, see this link.)
