- Implements cycling through multiple completion options - Supports command completion (e.g., 'he' → 'help', 'head') - Supports argument completion for file commands (ls, cat, less, etc.) - Supports argument completion for whois, tldr, and other commands - Maintains simple state tracking with tabIndex, tabOptions, and tabBase - Resets completion state on any non-tab key press This makes the CLI behave more like a real terminal where users can: - Press Tab to see available completions - Press Tab repeatedly to cycle through options - Hit Enter to execute the selected command

I added tab completion functionality to the CLI UX to better emulate a terminal:
Features
Command Completion: Type partial commands and tab to complete
he+ Tab → showsheadandhelp, then cycles through theml+ Tab → showsless,locate,ls, then cycles through themArgument Completion: Tab completion for command arguments
ls,cat,less, etc.) → completes filenameswhois→ completes team member namestldr→ completes portfolio company namescd→ completes directory namesSmart Cycling: Multiple tabs cycle through options on the same line
JS Implementation
tabIndex,tabOptions,tabBase) interminal-ext.jsterminal.jswith cycling logicTesting
Try these examples:
who+ Tab → completes towho, Tab again → cycles betweenwhoisand
whoamie+ Tab → shows all 'e' commands, Tab again → cycles through themls+ Tab → completes tols, Tab again → shows files
