for bash, in debian, (which is the default) the relevant setting is in<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/etc/bash.bashrc and looks like this:
# enable bash completion in interactive shells if [ -f<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/etc/bash_completion ]; then
.<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/etc/bash_completion fi
The reason it is not enabled by default is tab completion can take up memory (at all times) and a fair amount of time (some tab completions are much more involved than others).
