Can I change my auto-complete key?
 

I work on a Linux machine but often rlogin to Solaris boxes. On Linux the auto-complete is Tab, but on Solaris it is Esc.
Is there a way to reassign auto-complete to be Tab on Solaris so they are alike?

:confused:
what shell are you using?

sorry, csh

I believe the tab completion is a tcsh, not csh, feature.
You can switch to tcsh on your machine.
If not installed, you should be able to find it in the SUNWtcsh package.

You could run xmodmap and bind your tab key to esc, or the other way round. It wouldn't be specific to that shell though.

Yes, a drastic solution that would lead to a quite confusing environment as many command line and graphic applications rely on tab and escape in their UI.

Even while these changes can be limited to xterm (or a compatible terminal emulator) with XTerm*VT100*translations, I would have a lot of trouble under vi if escape and tab are swapped out.
