Idea - Changing dir from cmdprompt without full dir name

Post by *SAV »

I have an idea about changing directory, I would like a new feature in TC, some people who using linux may like this :)
So, I'd like if i am using command prompt, simple I just have to type in the first couple of file or dir name characters and by pressing tab TC writes the full name of dir or file, and after / char comes the next name.

Example I have this struct:

c:
root
dir
directory-man
...............manager

This way I have to write by pressing (tab) key:
cd/dir(tab)/mana(tab)/
to go to manager dir. Simple like in linux.
I think this would be popular, and this way is faster if you know your dir locations, and if you like keyboard :) Improved feature, vhen TC show graphicaly this, but this is not important.
