yesterday: oh what the yeck? 'cd' fills your path by hitting 'tab' once? How the hell could i survive the past 6 years i've been using linux?

today: oh, what? no... it works with every command in the shell.... linux does that for you <3

sorry to disappoint you, but that you expierenced is an package for bash for autocompletition. It works only for the most commands.

@stop you will never disappoint with informations :D

Welcome to this awesome place!

@stop yeah but you can easily extend to whatever programs you want.

Try to combine zsh with termite, that is a real pleasure.

then you discover "!" and linux becomes one of the world wonders

>6 years i've been using linux

I find that hard to believe. Tab completion is one of the first things someone using the terminal learns.

Oh, this is about tab completion. At first I thought typing "cd " and hitting tab would extend it to PATH (or the first entry of it).
I just recently found that executing "cd" will put be in my home directory.
Also try using zsh. It is so fucking great.
Kinda ashamed to ask, but what does ! do? I only know "sudo !!"

Write "!" Then the first chars of a previous command you used before. Hit tab and it autocompletes to the last line/command you used. Really useful when you want that last ssh connection

@demiko I use the terminal so much that trying to get to that line could take ages using the up button

Try "alt + ." to use the last argument of the previous command. Eg

$ mkdir ../pornStash
$ cd <alt + . > // will make "../pornStash" appear after cd command

I blew my boss' mind a few years ago. "this mysql command is way too complex for you. I'll give you a new headset if you can replicate it."

Challenge accepted.

Cat the .mysql history.

There's the over complicated command.

"hey boss." He laughed and lived up to his promise. He was a good boss.

thanks for your great Input... I'm going deeper into linux since I found my appointment in 'computer science' about a years ago... till then i was just a windows refugee
