Feature Request: Terminal Command and Path Tab Auto-completion

[achieve-dream1221]

Add tab auto-completion functionality for terminal commands and file paths to improve user experience and productivity.

Currently, when typing commands or file paths in the terminal, there is no auto-completion support. Users must type the complete command or path manually.

Since file names cannot be copied(#24), they need to be typed manually. If they are very long, without tab completion, typing becomes very cumbersome.

There is some autocomplete, using the same per-app-session history that's used when you press the Up or Down arrows.

You are correct in that it does not presently allow for presets or local file path completion, are those closer to what you had in mind?

How would you feel about allowing Tab to auto-complete a Macro? As in, you have a Macro with contents "abc123", you press Tab after typing "abc", and it gets completed to "abc123" . Or do you feel the commands should be kept separate?

As for file paths, hm. Would you expect it to use files from your current working directory?

Would you mind me asking what use case this is for? Since I find it interesting that you're referencing local file names with remote commands. 🐈‍⬛

You are correct in that it does not presently allow for presets or local file path completion, are those closer to what you had in mind?您说得对，目前它不允许预设或本地文件路径补全，这些更接近您的想法吗？

Or do you feel the commands should be kept separate?您觉得让 Tab 键自动补全宏怎么样？比如，您有一个宏内容为"abc123"，在输入"abc"后按下 Tab 键，它会自动补全为"abc123"。或者您觉得命令应该保持独立？

As for file paths, hm. Would you expect it to use files from your current working directory?至于文件路径，嗯。您期望它使用当前工作目录中的文件吗？

Would you mind me asking what use case this is for? Since I find it interesting that you're referencing local file names with remote commands. 🐈‍⬛你介意我问一下这个用例是什么吗？因为我发现你用远程命令引用本地文件名很有趣。🐈‍⬛

Thanks for your reply.

With my embedded Linux board, I can connect via a serial port to act as a terminal. I often need to deal with file paths, using commands like cd xxx and mv xxx.

If it's difficult to implement full tab completion, a good alternative would be to prioritize filename and path completion. Thank you.

I have another question. Some commands, like top, block the terminal when running. Normally, I'd send a Ctrl+C to terminate them, but Ctrl+C is currently set as the exit shortcut for YAP, so I can't send the termination command.
Currently, I'm using Ctrl+B to enter hex mode and send \x03 to simulate the Ctrl+C command, which allows me to exit. I'm hoping for a better way to do this.

If you disable "Psuedo-shell" in the Behavior Settings, your keyboard input will be sent directly to your device without the text buffer in the middle. Backspaced text from linux shells currently gets rendered weirdly, but I want to fix that when I redo the text pipeline.

yes, it worked, thank you so much!

I'm using command tab completion, but there are character display issues.
