I'm trying to find a way to scroll through the suggestions made by the auto-complete feature in the gnome terminal.
For example if I type
sudo apt-get install xserver-
and use double tab, there are large amounts of suggetions going over a page. Is there a set of keys to scroll back and forth though these suggestions?
The double tab will try to autocomplete or list the available files/commands/etc...
This double tab opened using more .
man more
more is a filter for paging through text one screenfull at a time.
to move between screens you have to use the Space key and to move down one line, use Enter.
A nice answer provided here
By default TAB is bound to the complete readline command. Your desired behavior would be menu-complete instead. You can change your readlines settings by editing ~/.inputrc. To rebind TAB, add this line:
TAB: menu-complete
Now you can move between list of outputs using Tab
