Just push TAB, the terminal gives me this:
Display all 2637 possibilities? (y or n)
What indeed does the TAB do for me?
Tell me more

It's trying to auto-complete the command for you, and since you've typed nothing it's offering to show you every possibility in your path (i.e. 2,637 executable commands). The more characters you type, the fewer possibilities you'll get (or it'll fully complete if there's only one). |
