set tab_history_cycle_size <number>
set zsh_style_completion [ON|OFF|TOGGLE]

Description:

This script implements a tab-key facility. A tab-key facility is a feature that operates when you press the <tab> key. Ordinarily, the client does not take any action when you press <tab>, but there are very many scripts that will provide soem useful feature.

This script tries to “do the right thing” when you press <tab>, in much the same way shells do. Try it!

This script features:

  • target history cycling for /msg and /notice
  • match possibility cycling (zsh-style completion)
  • reverse cycling (ctrl + r)
  • shell-like completion for /exec
  • script name completion for /load
  • the ability to complete words anywhere in the input line
  • proper handling of file names that contain spaces
  • multi-server support
  • completion of aliases, command names, channel names, nicknames,

/set variables, /help topics and file names
