Letting Readline Type For You

complete (TAB)
Attempt to do completion on the text before the cursor. This is application-specific. Generally, if you are typing a filename argument, you can do filename completion; if you are typing a command, you can do command completion, if you are typing in a symbol to GDB, you can do symbol name completion, if you are typing in a variable to Bash, you can do variable name completion, and so on. See the Bash manual page for a complete list of available completion functions.

possible-completions (M-?)
List the possible completions of the text before the cursor.

insert-completions ()
Insert all completions of the text before point that would have been generated by possible-completions. By default, this is not bound to a key.
