Thats what tab completion is for.

  Thank you freework, didn't know about that one (embarrassing as it is to admit). Still sucks dealing with spaces when it comes to command processes like ffmpeg -i <no_tab>...but awesome for cd'ing or ls'ing!

    Just prefix the space with a backslash. Eg: ``$ ls /foo/bar/my\ directory/``. With that backslash in place, you can continue your tab-completion.

      Still, on some international keyboards, backspace is hard to reach, eg. on a German Mac keyboard, is it <alt><shift>7. So don't put spaces in path names, it's a bitch to work with.

        You can quote the space: mkdir x\ y cd x' 'y (or the entire part: cd 'x y')

          Yup, that's what I do too, or %20 if its a url
