Yes, install the 'bash-completion' package then restart your terminal
(or open a new one) and then you can use the Tab key to automagically
complete commands, filenames and directories. Some commands even have
associated completion-capable switches, too; but that's dependent on the
program's packaging.
Hope that helps.
Unless you use c-shell instead of bash (one of my dirty little
secrets). File completion is built into the c-shell but you have to
turn it on with "set filec". Alas, no command switch completion
though. No idea on korn shell, zsh, etc. if you're running one of those.
Cheers,
Dave
