I am currently facing some problem with "tab key autocompletion" feature in my Solaris tcsh shell.

I have multiple users logged in our solaris server. Except for one particular user, all other users are able to use tab key for autocompletion of commands etc.

I tried searching the forum, but found no useful solution for me.

Any clues?

Thanks
Deepak

This fixed my Solaris 10:

>tcsh
>set autolist

TAB should work from there on in your terminal.

For ksh on Solaris, there seem to be a few postings to suggest different things.

  • Using pdksh - set -o vi-tabcomplete
  • Using ksh-93 - set -o viraw
  • Put in vi mode with set -o vi, and instead of tab use: ESC\, ESC*, and ESC=
  • Using tcsh - set autolist
  • Use bash
