i'd give all that away to instead have tab completing based on man page parameters descriptions or something.

- raylu 14y agoSo like zsh? https://pastee.org/uka5q https://pastee.org/uka5q
- gcb0 14y agoThanks guys, didn't know about that!
- roryokane 14y agoAs raylu says, zsh has that feature. Prezto (https://github.com/sorin-ionescu/prezto https://github.com/sorin-ionescu/prezto) makes it relatively easy to get started with zsh. Install it, enable any extra modules you want to load in .zpreztorc inside the “zstyle ':prezto:load' pmodule \” command, then update your .zshrc with your existing customizations from .bashrc and .bash_profile.
- __david__ 14y agoHave you tried the bash-completion package? It adds a ton of context based tab completion stuff.
- Aissen 14y agoFish does that too: http://ridiculousfish.com/shell/ http://ridiculousfish.com/shell/ Now if someone could integrate that with bash-completions =)
- andreasvc 14y agoAnd in case you're on a systems without such fancy shells as described in the other answers, the command "apropos [keywords]" will give a list of matching man pages.
