如何使 Powershell 像 Linux/Unix 系统或“cmd” shell 一样自动完成？

Question

Situation

Every time that I hit TAB key the Powershell completes with an .\ at the begging of the completed word.

---

Example

I have one file named Test.jar and I will use mv command to change the name of the file to any other. If I press TAB while typing the existing file it's look like:

$ mv .\Test.jar ...

Have I way that I could change the autocompletion behavior?

Answer 1

Some would argue that the PowerShell Autocomplete behavior is "more" correct, and "syntactically better" than bash or equivalent having a plain file name.

When it adds .\ to the beginning, it doesn't affect functionality. It is clarifying what you are entering. It both clarifies that:

1. You are working with a File Name as opposed to a command ie If you have a file named "mv", you could see that it is a file that you are working with.
2. It is clarifies that the location of the file is located in the current working directory.
