Now that I’ve learned that the right-arrow is the autocomplete gesture in Windows terminal, thank you friends for your help. I now have so many more questions: Why? Why isn’t it space, or tab, or ctrl+space or ctrl+. Like other applications! Where is this feature documented?

If you want your mind to be blown, press F2 to toggle between the single predictive text and multi predictive text suggestions 😉

How would I discover this? I opened my terminal window one day and a new feature appeared. No directions, no hints, no way to find help. Literally some greyed out text at my prompt when I open windows terminal with no hint where it came from How do we help the next folks with the next feature?

This is the hard problem. If you add it to the startup text people complain about it, if you don't how to people discover it? If you add, then how do you decide what you add? Daniel's TiPS module would be a great place to have this sort of info, but it's not in box...
