minus-squareSh1nyM3t4l4ss@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoUse a shell with decent auto-completion. I have not been irritated by this in years.
minus-squarenogooduser@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoWon’t autocomplete fail if you do “cd d” and then try the autocomplete? Or is that what you mean by “decent” auto-completion?
minus-squarebdonvr@thelemmy.clublinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoNo, it will probably go to “Documents”, and if you hit tab again it should go to “Downloads”. (Assuming you have the normal default folders)
minus-squarenewIdentity@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoNot with a decent autocomplete. It will look for a folder starting with a small d and if it doesn’t exist it looks at a folder with a large D.
minus-squarepgp@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoThe choice of the letter d was brilliant, that’s for sure. Now I’m imagining a folder with a large D.
minus-squarenewIdentity@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoI don’t get what you mean. It doesn’t matter if you write a uppercase or lowercase d
minus-squareSh1nyM3t4l4ss@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoI use fish which is quite nice OOTB, although if you want a posix compliant shell, zsh with some plugins is also great.

What shell would you recommend? 🤔
