Abbreviating and Completing Commands

The Matrix Series device allows you to abbreviate CLI commands and keywords down to the
number of characters that will allow for a unique abbreviation. Figure
abbreviate the show netstat command to sh net.

Using the Spacebar Auto Complete Function

When the spacebar auto complete function is enabled, pressing the spacebar after a CLI command
fragment will allow you to determine if the fragment is unique. If it is, the CLI will complete the
fragment on the current display line.
By default, this function is disabled. For more information on enabling it using the set cli
completion command, refer to "set cli completion" on page
function is enabled, entering conf and pressing the spacebar would be completed as configure:

Configuring the Line Editor

The command line editor determines which key sequences can be used in the CLI. Example:
Ctrl+A will move the cursor to beginning of the command line when in Emacs mode. The CLI
supports both vi and Emacs‐like line editing commands. By default, the "default" line‐editing
mode is configured, with no special key sequences. See Table
and vi commands. Use the set line‐editor command ("set line‐editor" on page 2‐14) to change the
line‐editor mode.
