Those of us who make daily use of the terminal, as I said on another occasion, always look for a way to make work with this tool flow easily and as comfortably as possible. What I bring you this time, is an option that comes by default in FreeNAS and that I liked it so much, that I had to put it on me Debian.
Suppose we open the terminal, and we are going to enter the folder Documents. If we put:
$ cd docu
And we press the tab to autocomplete, nothing happens, because the folder is not called documentsBut Documents. And so this is where the magic comes in. We create the file ~ / .inputrc:
$ touch ~/.inputrc
We open it with our favorite text editor and put this inside:
set completion-ignore-case on
We save, close and reopen a terminal. Now when we put:
$ cd docu
And we press Tab, it will automatically change to the name with capital letters and it will put us
$ cd Documentos
What do you think? This tips was taught to me by a friend named Matthias apitz.
Very good contribution. He did not know that it was possible to do that.
Definitely interesting 😀
Excellent. These are one of those tips that increases productivity. Very good.
Remarkable! Too good the elav tip.
I think so Proper, since I saw this function in FreeNAS, I did not hesitate to look for it because it is truly useful.
I loved! I didn't know that trick, thank you!
Very useful, Good
I have tried it in Fedora but it does not work for me and without the file ~ / .inputrc I pose Doc and it autocompletes me (as in IRC) Documents but still thanks 😀
It would be interesting to see the bash configuration file in FedoraMaybe it already comes with this option by default.
Ah! So FreeNas ... you're going to have to confess what other things you saw on that system. One day I was seeing that those who sell already have an integrated system for their administration, such as: Seagate Black Armor or QNAP NAS that I really liked the characteristics exposed on their page, but Freenas .. Let's see the video, tell me the virtues that you noticed. 😉
First of all, it is FreeBSD. 😀

I'll put into practice
brilliant
GO-NA-ZO! I did not know, this trick!
Since you are talking about FreeNAS, do you know OpenMediaVault? It is a similar solution with a slightly friendlier interface than FreeNAS and the best of all is that it is a true Debian GNU / Linux, that is, you can use the solution as a NAS or log in to the system and do # apt-get update && apt -get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade to be continuously updated since in addition to using the official Debian repos, it adds its own for its packages.

: O I didn't know him .. Right now I'm checking, thanks ...
Thanks, but how do I put the $ PS1 with the time as you have it in your terminal?
Fortunately, they don't charge for these great tips.
Good thing that didn't happen. this is an exceptional tip. Maybe I would never have known it existed if I didn't visit the page ...
Who said not? … Come on, pay a few hundred €… HAHAHAHAHAHA 😀 😀 😀
You'll be the only idiot who's already paid.
Very useful, thank you very much 😀
This is a marvel, it should be installed by default 10 out of 10.
Simply GREAT 😀
With the modification in that file it no longer lets me move between "separators" (I don't know how to call them haha) with the control + left / right key combination. Can it be solved by adding something to it?
Greetings and thanks!
I already solved it, it is with the first 2 lines of my .inputrc that I leave below 😉
The "\ t": menu-complete is for you to cyclically autocomplete with TAB
And the one below is explained with the comment it brings.
"\e[1;5C": forward-word
"\e[1;5D": backward-word
"\t": menu-complete
set completion-ignore-case on
# Don't echo ^C etc (new in bash 4.1)
# Note this only works for the command line itself,
# not if already running a command.
set echo-control-characters off
Regards!
Something complementary to this (besides being quite useful) is the ignore uppercase and lowercase in pattern searches. For example, if files are listed with ls a B C, by default it does not take into account the files that match ABC.
Just add the following in .bashrc:
shopt -s nocaseglobOr this line in .zshrc (for those who use zsh):
unsetopt CASE_GLOB
