Bash history autocomplete galore

Add the following lines to the end of .bashrc

-----8<-----

# make bash autocomplete with up/down arrow
bind '"\e[A":history-search-backward'
bind '"\e[B":history-search-forward'

# make tab cycle through commands instead of listing
bind '"\t":menu-complete'

----->8-----

Now by pressing arrow up/down bash will autocomplete based on your command line history, while pressing TAB will cycle through commands, directories and files names.
