It's not the same, but the closest I can think of is by using the two below 
settings in combination.
The first setting displays the list of possibilities with the first press of 
the tab.
The second setting lets you cycle through the matches with each subsequent 
press of tab.

put this in your .inputrc
set show-all-if-ambiguous on

put this in your .bash_profile
bind TAB:menu-complete
