- Yes. If you're using vi-style command line editing,
- press <ESC>* (i.e., the ESCape key followed by the asterisk).
- Another type of file name completion is <ESC>\ (i.e., the
- ESCape key followed by the backslash) and expands on exact
- matches only. This is similar to tcsh's file name completion.
- If you're using emacs-style command line editing, press
- <ESC><ESC> (i.e., type ESCape key twice).
