Autocomplete feature in powershell

[anirugu]

originally posted here PowerShell/PowerShell#10889

I write few command every time when I open powershell at global level. For example doing npx create-reacta-app abcd.

It can be anywhere. What I am looking for is when I started typing npx, it show something with grey text and if I press the Tab, the text will be set into the current line.

This could be quite useful. In few case on mac I see this thing, What is helpful here is I don't need to type everything by hand again. Just tab will type everything.

@anirugu, please edit your request to include the complete text of your original request, and keep the link included as well.

In a sense, what you are looking for might already exist with PSReadLine.

At a blank prompt, press CTRL-R, then start trying, to find additional matches with what you have typed so far, press CTRL-R again and again. Its going backward through your history of recent command entries. To go forward in the list, use CTRL-S.
