It is even possible to search through the command history by typing the
beginning of a previous command and then hitting the up our down arrow. If
you type something and hit tab you'll get a list of previous commands that
match what toy typed.

There is also hg and thg command completion through the tab key. For
example you can type "hg" and hit TAB to get a list of all mercurial
commands. You can type "hg a" and hit TAB to get a list of commands that
begin with an "a", etc. You can even type "hg commit " (note the extra
space at the end), hit TAB and get a list of "hg commit" flags.

Cheers,

Angel
