I think Powershell made a big mistake going with verb first. I know I want to do something with group but when I type group there is no auto complete. Now I type “add” and I get dozens or hundreds of suggestions which makes auto complete almost useless. They should have gone with target object first so when I type in group I get all the relevant auto complete suggestions.
- Riverheart 7y agoI'd suggest the following. get-command add*group* Or for brevity gcm add*group* For reference, the Bash version is this: compgen -c | grep group Edit: Let's get crazier. You want custom tab completion to focus on the command's noun plus Bash style completion. $Function:OriginalTabCompletion = $Function:TabExpansion function TabExpansion($line, $lastWord) { if ($line -match ('^!(.*)') { $lastWord = $lastWord.trimstart('!') Get-command -noun *$lastWord* } elseif { OriginalTabExpansion $line $lastWord } } Set-psreadline -chord tab -function MenuComplete !group<TAB>
