Hi,

At least in zsh, completion is programmable: there is a context
sensitive completion that you can define for any command, and it is all
done with the same key (<tab> for me, but you can change that). And zsh
comes with completion already programed for almost anything I use (eg
make targets after 'make', perl modules with 'perldoc' and with the -M
switch, and, of course, man topics after 'man'). I don't know if bash
has this as well
