Description Maciej Bendkowski

I've created two commands 'logs' and 'loggers', which share a common prefix 'log'. After typing 'log' and hitting tab, I'd expect a list of proposals where both 'logs' and 'loggers' are present and I'm free to choice any of the list. Right now, typing any prefix of 'log' and hitting tab will cause in a single 'loggers' proposal, where the 'logs' command is never proposed.

This is an implementation detail of GCLI.  It's not my preferred behaviour either, but it's not "wrong", just different.  I've logged https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=905342 for this.

FWIW, it's possible to turn on completion suggestions while typing command names in general, but this is too in-your-face and blocks much of the output area, so turning this on is not desirable.
