hence the "starting point".
Tab-completion could additionally list the "most common things given the context* I have".
Tab-completion needs not nessecarily be postfix. I've seen completion tooling** that would work somewhat like `invoice.pdf<tab> -> `open invoice.pdf\n cp invoice.pdf` etc.
And if `<tab>` conflicts, or breaks your mind because it must only work on postfix, it could be anything really, such as `<cmd>-r`.
Additionally, or underlying, a reasonable simple command like `whatcan` or `ctxt` (context) could work and be leveraged: `whatcan invoice.pdf` -> a list of common commands given the context* I have.
---
* Context I have would be your ~.\_history, the current directory-tree, permissions (why show `mv` if you don't have write access?), applications available, etc. pluggable maybe?
** e.g. the <ctrl>-r, interactive bash history search come to mind as pattern. But also tools like FZF https://github.com/junegunn/fzf#fuzzy-completion-for-bash-an... that don't nessecarily only "complete" on tab, but may replace larger parts of the commandline.*

Edit: formatting.
