Typing and Editing Commands
Fuzzy match
The H3C S3600 series Ethernet switches support fuzzy match for efficient input of commands.
If in the current view, the character string you have typed can already uniquely identify a keyword, you
do not need to type the complete keyword.
For example, in user view, commands starting with an s include save, startup saved-configuration,
and system-view.
z To save the current configuration, type sa.
z To set the configuration file for next startup, type st s.
z To enter system view, type sy.
You can also press Tab to have a partial keyword automatically completed, and check that the keyword
is the one you intended to use.
Editing command lines
Table 1-5 lists some shortcut keys you can use to edit command lines.

Tab
If you press Tab after entering part of a keyword, the system
automatically completes the keyword:
z If finding a unique match, the system substitutes the complete
keyword for the incomplete one and displays it in the next line.
z If there is more than one match, you can press Tab repeatedly to
display in cycles all the keywords starting with the character string
that you typed.
z If there is no match, the system does not modify the incomplete
keyword and displays it again in the next line.
