<dl>
<dt><code>complete (&lt;TAB&gt;)</code><a name="index-complete-_0028_0040key_007bTAB_007d_0029-3269"></a><dd>Attempt to perform completion on the text before point.
The actual completion performed is application-specific.
The default is filename completion.
<br><dt><code>possible-completions (M-?)</code><a name="index-possible_002dcompletions-_0028M_002d_003f_0029-3270"></a><dd>List the possible completions of the text before point.
When displaying completions, Readline sets the number of columns used
for display to the value of <code>completion-display-width</code>, the value of
the environment variable <samp><span class="env">COLUMNS</span></samp>, or the screen width, in that order.
<br><dt><code>insert-completions (M-*)</code><a name="index-insert_002dcompletions-_0028M_002d_002a_0029-3271"></a><dd>Insert all completions of the text before point that would have
been generated by <code>possible-completions</code>.
<br><dt><code>menu-complete ()</code><a name="index-menu_002dcomplete-_0028_0029-3272"></a><dd>Similar to <code>complete</code>, but replaces the word to be completed
with a single match from the list of possible completions.
Repeated execution of <code>menu-complete</code> steps through the list
of possible completions, inserting each match in turn.
At the end of the list of completions, the bell is rung
(subject to the setting of <code>bell-style</code>)
and the original text is restored.
An argument of <var>n</var> moves <var>n</var> positions forward in the list
of matches; a negative argument may be used to move backward
through the list.
This command is intended to be bound to &lt;TAB&gt;, but is unbound
by default.
<br><dt><code>menu-complete-backward ()</code><a name="index-menu_002dcomplete_002dbackward-_0028_0029-3273"></a><dd>Identical to <code>menu-complete</code>, but moves backward through the list
of possible completions, as if <code>menu-complete</code> had been given a
negative argument.
<br><dt><code>delete-char-or-list ()</code><a name="index-delete_002dchar_002dor_002dlist-_0028_0029-3274"></a><dd>Deletes the character under the cursor if not at the beginning or
end of the line (like <code>delete-char</code>).
If at the end of the line, behaves identically to
<code>possible-completions</code>.
This command is unbound by default.
