Research direction

Look at the completer logic in the ishell library, likely in a file handling readline or input. Find where TAB key handling is implemented for forward navigation through suggestions. Add SHIFT+TAB detection to move backwards in the suggestion list. Test by building a sample CLI app with ishell and verifying the completer behavior.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

SHIFT+TAB for moving backwards in word suggestions (completer) would be nice.
