Filenamecompletion makes typing long filenames and directorynames
easier. It does not matter if you want to type it as command or as
argument. Just type some beginning characters of the desired name and
then press TAB . If there is more than one possibility that
match, it will only be completed as far as all possibilities match.
In this case type the next character then again press TAB . If a
filename was fully matched, a space after it will be inserted. If
a directoryname was fully matched, a slash (/) will be inserted after.
If no partial match is found, the screen blinks (display beep).
Maybe you do not want *.info files to be completed. This will avoid
some trouble. Use "ctrl -c *.info" for that or see CTRL .
For example a directory contains:
MegaEditExample
MegaEditExample.info
MegaViewer
MoreMegaFiles {directory}
If you want to change the current directory to MoreMegaFiles you type:
mo
then press the TAB key. You will see the full name with a slash at the
end. Just press RETURN and you changed it.
To delete MegaViewer you type:
delete me
and press TAB . You will see "Mega". Now type the V key and
press TAB again. You see "delete MegaViewer ". Press RETURN and
it will be gone.
You want to start MegaEditExample. Type:
me
and press TAB. Then type E and press TAB. There is no space after the
name. This is because MegaEditExample.info also matches.
Start it by pressing RETURN.
