I've always used bash completion (with the tab key) and been happy with it, but perhaps you'd want to look at the "wcd" utility: http://www.xs4all.nl/~waterlan/ (in particular, the interactive directory browser: wcd -g, seems likely for what you'd want) if you're using Debian/Ubuntu or derivatives, install with: aptitude install wcd and then read instructions in /usr/share/doc/wcd/README.Debian --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Linux Users Group.
