And no autocomplete.
- adrusi 11y agoUnix command line autocomplete is fairly good, but it's not useful for discovery of new features or for helping you figure out a CLI without reading anything. It is quite effective at helping a user who knows what they're avoid keystrokes, though.
- kuma4 11y agoBash completion is inferior. It doesn't understand types.
- pritambaral 11y agoI didn't get this, could you elaborate? Does powershell autocomplete objects it is about to ingest, and before you run the command?
- noinsight 11y agoPowerShell v3+ can autocomplete command names, command switches and switch values (if they're a strict set). It can also autocomplete object properties yes. $dir = gci $dir.<tab> -> $dir.Count
- pritambaral 11y ago> command names, command switches and switch values (if they're a strict set). So can bash. How is this different from bash's autocompletion? > also ... object properties Well, there aren't objects in bash, so I can't translate this.
