Using echo is the wrong way. What you do is ‘CTRL-x *’. That will expand any glob right there on the command line.

  Brace expansion isn't a glob, unfortunately. Did you try it?

    I didn't know the `CTRL-x * ` expansion; it appears to work in zsh for brace expansion: $ touch asdf-{gh,jk}-l # CTRL-x * $ touch asdf-gh-l asdf-jk-l

      In zsh you can use tab to expand globs/braces/variables as well.

  I didn't know about that. I tried control-x escape, that only does variable expansion (and it appears to expand aliases too)
