# Autocomplete

Autocomplete allows you to type part of a command, option, or flag, and the Twilio CLI will either automatically complete the command or display suggestions for you. If you have autocomplete enabled, you can prompt the CLI for these suggestions by pressing the `Tab` key.

Enable autocomplete by running the appropriate command for your shell:

## Bash setup for MacOS and Linux

```bash
twilio autocomplete bash
```

## ZSH setup for MacOS and Linux

```bash
twilio autocomplete zsh
```

Follow the resulting instructions, and either restart your shell or open a new one to finish installing command autocomplete.

> \[!WARNING]
>
> If suggestions are not appearing, double-check that you restarted your shell or opened a new instance since installing.

Windows autocomplete is currently not supported.
