path autoexpansion (autcompletion) when saving files or changing directories

Hello: please forgive me if this is a FAQ; I searched (a lot: Google ...) but Icould not find a solution. I am using neovim 0.1.7 (recent switch from Vim 8.0).

Say I want to save a file (:sav) in a different path on my system (Arch Linux); e.g., I am in ~/projects/... , and I want to save it to ~/temp/... or even another mountpoint, such as /mnt/another_drive/...

I find myself having to know/manually type the complete path; I don't have auto-completion, as in a bash terminal.

Likewise, if in Vim (nvim) I want to :cd, again I have to manuallt type the path (no autocompletion).

FYI, I have the NerdTREE and SuperTab plugins installed, if that helps. Thanks, appreciated!
