Sorry for the top post.
The feature you are mentioning is provided by the "bash completion" package.

Greetings,
I would like to develop an Intellisense feature for the existing linux
command line interface. (it's not the command auto complete)
For example:
when you type '*ls -'* at the prompt, you will get a drop down menu with all
available options like *l, a, c, s* etc along with the short descriptions.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
*$ ls -
l - long listing
a - lists hidden files
s - sorts by size
c - sorts by modification date
$
*-------------------------------------------------------------------
I've surfed for enough things and found that there is no such application.
If I missed anything, can you please tell me whether any similar work
exists?
If there is no such app, can you please tell what would be the feasibility
and / or usability for this work? and please put some references to start
with.
