[j-nsp] Junos 21+ Killing Finger Muscle Memory...

[Chris Lee]

Hi Jeff,

Any chance the CLI could make use of repeated presses of the TAB key to
cycle through the completion options ?

For instance in the newer 21.x release for EX switches I note a
"synchronous-ethernet" option under the show level, and my muscle memory
for "show system" was reduced down to "show sy" - so could the CLI say show
the "sy is ambiguous" option upon the first TAB press, but when you press
TAB again it then autocompletes "synchronous-ethernet" and another TAB
press to autocomplete "system" ?

root> show sy
             ^
'sy' is ambiguous.
Possible completions:
  synchronous-ethernet  Show synchronous ethernet related information
  system               Show system information
{master:0}
root>

Regards,
Chris
