Quick Typing
Description
There are two features in the console that help entering commands much quicker and easier - the
[Tab] key completions, and abbreviations of command names. Completions work similarly to the
bash shell in UNIX. If you press the [Tab] key after a part of a word, console tries to find the
command within the current context that begins with this word. If there is only one match, it is
automatically appended, followed by a space:
/inte[Tab]_ becomes /interface _
If there is more than one match, but they all have a common beginning, which is longer than that
what you have typed, then the word is completed to this common part, and no space is appended:
/interface set e[Tab]_ becomes /interface set ether_
If you've typed just the common part, pressing the tab key once has no effect. However, pressing it
for the second time shows all possible completions in compact form:
[admin@MikroTik] > interface set e[Tab]_
[admin@MikroTik] > interface set ether[Tab]_
[admin@MikroTik] > interface set ether[Tab]_
ether1 ether5
[admin@MikroTik] > interface set ether_
The [Tab] key can be used almost in any context where the console might have a clue about
possible values - command names, argument names, arguments that have only several possible
values (like names of items in some lists or name of protocol in firewall and NAT rules).You
cannot complete numbers, IP addresses and similar values.
Another way to press fewer keys while typing is to abbreviate command and argument names. You
can type only beginning of command name, and, if it is not ambiguous, console will accept it as a
full name. So typing:
[admin@MikroTik] > pi 10.1 c 3 si 100
equals to:
[admin@MikroTik] > ping 10.0.0.1 count 3 size 100
