Does your tab key do something mine doesn't?

I type part of a file name in Windows, then tab through the options.

I type part of a file name in Linux, then tab to get to the next decision
point, then type a bit more, then tab to complete (or get to the next
decision point, or tab-complete with the previous one).

If I type enough of the file name that the names are unique on either system,
the behavior would be exactly the same.

What does _your_ tab key do? And are you using something custom?
