command completion did work with "quotes - and has some other options that you can find in the corresponding man manuals (tclsh, at least explain it in detail). That is independent of Mac OS versions...

But the problem that Apple should address IMHO is the one that concerns non ascii chars, that are seem as double non-understandable bytes in the shell and making then unusable items with, before X where so usual...

Add this to your .cshrc for improved TAB completion.

bindkey "^I" complete-word-fwd

Hitting tab completes the first possible option. Hitting tab repeatedly cycles through all possible completion options. So, if your directory contains

aplomb
apomatox
apple

typing "ap" and hitting tab will give you "aplomb" hitting tab again will give you "apomatox" and so on.
