Linux terminal emulator with terminal autocomplete?


Yaniv Aknin

I've migrated back to Linux from OSX and am happy most of the time. One of the main things I miss is iTerm2 , especially its terminal-based autocomplete (tmux integration is nice too).

I looked around but couldn't find the equivalent table in Linux, any pointers?

(ps: I understand shell-based autocomplete, and I understand editor/IDE autocomplete; I use both, but I also want terminal-based autocomplete. That's how I do it.)

The closest thing I've seen to iTerm2 is Final Term . However, it is currently in development with a disclaimer

Final exams are under heavy development, both unstable and functional!

Some of the features it has are

  • Semantic Text Menu
  • Start command complete
  • GUI terminal controls

List of available/planned features here
