Hi all, today a person ask on the Italian mailing list of gfoss [1] to
have the possibility to see the options of a module in a list for the
completion like command and flags. I also tried this feature and I
discover that with the TAB button appear the help of module and this
is very cool and useful

Hi,
few months ago I tried to do some enhancements in GUI command prompt and apart from TAB, try ctrl+space, it should offer some possibilities like parameters and flags. Typing "-" and "=" should work for flags and maps. It doesn't always work, but I think it should help a little.

ok with ctrl+space It show flags + options this is cool. Maybe we have
to write somewhere the possibility to use this shortcuts for example
between the progress bar and the command line.
For me the "=" it doesn't work

I think there's not enough space. Maybe it could be written in the tooltip help which
shows on TAB. I think that users try TAB, so they can learn about it from there.

For me the "=" it doesn't work

It depends on the cursor position, it should work only if it makes sense (eg. after 'map' parameter). But it's true, that sometimes the widget behaves strangely and the autocompletion doesn't work properly.
