With UNIX command cd, when you press tab to complete a file/dir name and there are multiple options, it does an ls.

How can I get this behavior in command prompt with cd? When you tab complete with cd on Windows, it tries all of the matches.

Unlike in the Bash Shell, Windows requires you press Tab multiple times to cycle through available options — it won’t just show you them all in a list.

If however you want this behaviour you can get it by installing something like Clink

  • Isn't that just the char for selecting the next match?

  • That article just talks about changing the character which selects the next match. I'm talking about listing all the matches instead of just selecting the next one.
