SuperUser Do
It is a program designed to allow non-root users to run

access to certain system management commands.

The method described above is called "Cycling completion" and it works like
this: Whenever you try to complete at a point where multiple choices
are possible, the first choice is inserted, and if you hit tab again, it
is replaced by the second poissible choice and so on.
