It's the Tab key by default, which might be what you're referring to. I
can't remember what (if anything) French keyboards have on them.

If it works in your console but not Gnome, then it's worth checking what
terminal it thinks it is - echo $TERM. Mine says "xterm". It's also
worth testing some other applications with readline support and see if
their history/completion

If it doesn't work in the console too, it's probably a problem with your
readline library.
