I'll be taking the CCNA exam tomorrow, and seeing as the ? works, couldn't one just insert this character in the middle of a command to fulfill the same feature as TAB's auto-complete? This would presumably show the command in its entirety below it, similar to the standard use for ?. I know this works on the current IOS, but I'm not too sure about its use during the exam.
Ex:
10 R1# co?
20 configure connect copy
OR
10 R1# conf?
20 configure
If you type a set of unambiguous characters distinct to a specific command, then this will work essentially the same way as the TAB auto-complete, and remembering the full syntax is not required!
I'll be sure to verify its workability after I take the exam tomorrow...wish me luck!
