Ask HN: Command-Line Completion and Discoverability?
Is there a utility that if I just type in
lin
That it will show
link -s <TARGET> <SYMLINK>
and potential 5 other commands that are close to it (newlined)?
So like, it'll show the common use of that command (or perhaps the synopsis of the man pages but that already seems overkill).
- booniepepper 3y agofish shell gets somewhat close to this, in that it will show a hint of the most recent similar command from your history. If there is no recent similar command it can still tab complete and can infer a completion from help/manpage Edit: BTW this is actually a fantastic idea, I don't know if anything quite does this yet
