Looks like TAB works for me.

What are some shortcut keys as you work in the DOS prompt ?

I saw a coworker just type a character or two and get the rest of the
directory name as an example..

So instead of typing "cd Program Files" , i think he typed cd P and
pressed some keys to get the rest of the name

Would like to know some of these shortcuts

Thanks


DOS could never do this - it is a feature of the Command Prompt
under Windows. To enable it you need to launch the command
processor like so:

cmd.exe /f:on

This is best done in the "Command Prompt" shortcut.

When you're in the Command Prompt, you tap the letter "P",
then press Ctrl+F once or several times.

Since you're already modifying the Command Prompt, why
not do it like so:

cmd.exe /f:on /k mode con lines=50
