The better interactive shells (eg. bash, zsh) do context-sensitive completion. Type the first few letters of a command and hit tab (in bash) a few times. Bash will offer you a list of possible "completions" -- commands that start with the letters you have typed so far. If you do this for the second or subsequent words on the command line, you will be offered file names instead of command names. This is what I mean by "context-sensitive": it depends what part of the command you are typing.
