Change autocomplete key

Question

My tab key has stopped working, and as a result working on terminal has become painful. Is there a way I can reset my autocomplete key from tab to some other key? Also I do not have root access, so will it be possible for me to do it locally for my account?

Answer 1

Create a ~/.inputrc file with the following:

C-SPACE: complete

and start bash again. Control-space is now your additional auto-complete key
