Is it possible to use tab to page through suggestions without creating a new prompt? I appreciate this aspect of the fish and zsh shells - here’s a gif I found online demonstrating the desired effect.

It’s not currently implemented but it would be a great feature to have. We have recently [moved TerminalMenus into the REPL code](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/25956) and this feature would be a combination of these features since it’s basically a grid selection menu of completion options.
