How to Disable auto-completion of commands in terminal

RouterOS Scripting
1

Guys, please can somebody tell me how to disable the painful auto completion feature in ROS3, it’s driving me nuts !
We configure our new routers by throwing an IP on them, winboxing to them or using a terminal session and then pasting our config into them, but this auto completion thing keeps trying to pre-empt every command and is screwing it all up

Help PLease !!!

Don’t press tab then console will not try to auto complete commands.

I’m not pressing tab, it is doing it all by itself, I can’t stop it, as I try to type commands it just keeps automatically completing them…

You had to accidently pressed CTRL+V in console

just press it again… and it will be back to normal

You are a true legend, thanks mate !
Whilst I know I never pressed this in the first place, perhaps it is enabled by default as it’s a new RB unit.

Thanks again !

are you saying CTRL+V (paste) triggers this? That’s somewhat ironic!

Yes it does

It is but when you are in console window in Winbox. Widnows shortcuts doestn work.

e.g.

CTRL - C = break operation
CTRL - X = safe mode
CTRL - V = auto completion without using tabs

etc.
