3.6 Filename completion

Expand File Name

Editor Command

Arguments: None
Key sequence: Meta+Tab

Key sequence: Tab
Mode: Shell

The command Expand File Name expands (completes) the filename at the current point.

The system looks backwards from the current point until it finds a space or other character that is unlikely to be in a filename. The text from this character to the current point is the partial filename to complete.

Invoking Expand File Name twice in succession offers a list of possible completions.
