I think Powershell made a big mistake going with verb first. I know I want to do something with group but when I type group there is no auto complete. Now I type “add” and I get dozens or hundreds of suggestions which makes auto complete almost useless. They should have gone with target object first so when I type in group I get all the relevant auto complete suggestions.

I'd suggest the following.

  get-command add*group*

Or for brevity

  gcm add*group*

For reference, the Bash version is this:

  compgen -c | grep group

Edit:

Let's get crazier. You want custom tab completion to focus on the command's noun plus Bash style completion.

  $Function:OriginalTabCompletion = $Function:TabExpansion

  function TabExpansion($line,  $lastWord) {
      if ($line -match ('^!(.*)') {
          $lastWord = $lastWord.trimstart('!')
          Get-command -noun *$lastWord*
      } elseif {
          OriginalTabExpansion  $line $lastWord
      }
  }
  Set-psreadline -chord tab -function MenuComplete

  !group<TAB>
