  68. <a name="index-complete-_0028TAB_0029"></a>
  69. </dt>
  70. <dd><p>Attempt to perform completion on the text before point.
  71. The actual completion performed is application-specific.
  72. The default is filename completion.

  75. <dt><code>possible-completions (M-?)</code>
  76. <a name="index-possible_002dcompletions-_0028M_002d_003f_0029"></a>
  77. </dt>
  78. <dd><p>List the possible completions of the text before point.
  79. When displaying completions, Readline sets the number of columns used
  80. for display to the value of <code>completion-display-width</code>, the value of
  81. the environment variable <code>COLUMNS</code>, or the screen width, in that order.
  82. </p>

  92. <a name="index-menu_002dcomplete-_0028_0029"></a>
  93. </dt>
  94. <dd><p>Similar to <code>complete</code>, but replaces the word to be completed
  95. with a single match from the list of possible completions.
  96. Repeated execution of <code>menu-complete</code> steps through the list
  97. of possible completions, inserting each match in turn.
  98. At the end of the list of completions, the bell is rung
  99. (subject to the setting of <code>bell-style</code>)
  100. and the original text is restored.
  101. An argument of <var>n</var> moves <var>n</var> positions forward in the list
  102. of matches; a negative argument may be used to move backward
  103. through the list.
  104. This command is intended to be bound to <tt class="key">TAB</tt>, but is unbound
  105. by default.

  110. </dt>
  111. <dd><p>Identical to <code>menu-complete</code>, but moves backward through the list
  112. of possible completions, as if <code>menu-complete</code> had been given a
  113. negative argument.

  119. <dd><p>Deletes the character under the cursor if not at the beginning or
  120. end of the line (like <code>delete-char</code>).
  121. If at the end of the line, behaves identically to
  122. <code>possible-completions</code>.
