Tab completion on Windows #1235

Description

Description

Tab completion is handy. Works in many ways and is a way to get the structure for many CLI commands prefilled for sending action, sending velocity and others. Windows native users are robbed of this feature due to whatever reason. And I'd love to see some love towards that

Motivation

I was working on the Lyrical Luth Tutorial Testing Party Issue ros2/lyrical_tutorial_party#2078 when I came across this statement on the docs which isn't true for Windows native users

All the options will be autocompleted by pressing the tab key after the entering the first few characters of the option. However, the topic message prototype will only be autocompleted after \'<TAB> is entered.

Design / Implementation Considerations

Pixi documents autocompletion, but it works only for PowerShell and for ROS2 we use Command Prompt. Honestly, I couldn't get it working on PowerShell either.

Additional Information

If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would get started.
