One last note: one of the reasons why tab-completion is frowned upon is because it's indication of too intricate paths, remember to keep your file trees clean and simple and to take advantage of binds and union mounts to keep everything at hand. If you do this you won't miss tab-completion and you will have a much easier time finding what you are looking for.
