Most of them, probably. (I use tcsh, but am under the impression
that tcsh and bash are roughly equivalent in functionality. The only thing
there that I can't do is set up TAB to have one behavior on the first hit
then another on subsequent hits. Like normally-completing and autolisting
on the first hit, then rotating through possible choices on subsequent
hits. If this is what you meant.)
