    Just checking, because I learnt to type before I worked this out, and because surely someone reading doesn’t know: press tab. Bash will fill in file names from your current directory.

    E.g. say you have files fred1file, fred2file, jim.

    Type f then press tab, it will fill to “fred”. Then press 2 and press tab again and it will fill the full “fred2file”.

    Have a play, it works in heaps of situations.
