As you type commands, you will see a completion offered after the cursor in a muted gray color. If you press the right-arrow key or End with the cursor at the end of the buffer, it will accept the suggestion, replacing the contents of the command line buffer with the suggestion.

Only use this tool against systems you own or are explicitly authorized to test — see the disclaimer.
