2.1.6.10 Using the Spacebar Auto Complete Function
When the spacebar auto complete function is enabled, pressing the spacebar after a CLI command
fragment will allow you to determine if the fragment is unique. If it is, the CLI will complete the
fragment on the current display line.
By default, this function is disabled. For more information on enabling it using the set cli
completion command, refer to Section 2.2.3.20. Figure 2-7 shows how, when the function is
enabled, entering conf and pressing the spacebar would be completed as configure:
