I'm not sure how realistic that is, but maybe command completion could be added to CraftOS? Something like tab completion on typical shells elsewhere.

(Also, on a second thought, the Minecraft version number probably isn't what you wanted to see in the topic title).

this would be a cool little feature to add, and i like the idea. ive seen this kind of thing in many languages so it is definitely possible.

You can use the up arrow keys to return to a previously typed command, and I do that a lot, particularly when running direct lua mode. I do it so much that often I'd be faster just typing in the command I want, but it's still a nice feature. Auto-completion is…probably not as useful.

However, you can look around the OS downloads and see if anyone has provided one that does something like this. I personally shudder in horror every time I think about putting another OS on my machines, but apparently some people like them.
