I'm trying to find a way to scroll through the suggestions made by the auto-complete feature in the gnome terminal.  For example if I type   sudo apt-get install xserver-   and use double tab, there are large amounts of suggetions going over a page.  Is there a set of keys to scroll back and forth though these suggestions?

If I have several directories, like:  afoo abar   sometimes my terminal will refuse autocomplete when I press tab (e.g. "cd a" then tab), and print the list of directories instead. Sometimes it even throws a noisy, annoying sound. Any idea how to make it autocomplete in cases like this? E.g it can show abar first, and then afoo if I press tab again. I saw this is the case in windows, or some applciation in Ubuntu

Is there any way to search the scrollback buffer in Terminator? I'd like to be able to search in the logs that are displayed when something is run from the terminal.

I was wondering if there was any was I could right click inside any instance of a "Finder" window such that I have an option that says "Open Terminal Here". It would be really helpful.

There's already  which point to various executables (with or without full path). , not necessarily the name of the executable (in xterm it's xterm-color, and in gnome-terminal it's xterm-256color). Is there a variable which is expected to contain the name or path of the executable to use as the default terminal in Linux? (Or Arch Linux, if there is a custom convention.) Maybe this is nonsensical, since GUI programs are rarely spawned from shells which know of these variables…

GNOME 2 allows one to either save the session automatically or manually (i.e. save the session as it looks right now). This is a nice feature because it restores the various desktop states between logins (and system restarts):   which apps were open where (physically) on the desktop were they open what specific window sizes were these apps set to   Looking around, I can't find the feature in GNOME 3? Did I not look hard enough?

One of the things I like best when using OS X is the  tool. You can click a magnifying glass in the corner, and search for apps, files, anything. Windows 7's Start Menu search tool is similar. Does Ubuntu have anything like this?  Gnome Do has some similarities, but it's really more about doing things than searching for things. Something with a panel applet like Spotlight would be ideal.

In (X)Ubuntu 14.04, I was able to perform a Select All operation via keyboard, in Gnome Terminal, invoking the menu (Alt-E -> A).  With more recent versions of (X)Ubuntu, I've noticed that the shortcuts for the menu bar are not available anymore.  For some operations, it's possible to set a direct shortcut (eg. Reset and clear terminal), but not for Select All.  Is there a way I can perform this operation via keyboard?  Note: I refer strictly to Gnome Terminal, not other terminal applications.

How can I add a right-click desktop menu entry to create a text file to Gnome 3 in Ubuntu 16.04.02?

Some of the git commands have many options, and it would often be useful to search through them for the one I need - I was just looking for the option which controls the TAB width in git-gui, but there are about 200 completions for git config. An obvious workaround is to copy all the completions into an editor and search through them, but I'd rather do  [something] | grep tab   There are no man or info pages for compgen, help compgen doesn't even explain its own options, and there's no auto-complete for compgen (how's that for irony?).  PS:  doesn't work.  PPS: This is not a question about git-gui - The  was elsewhere.  PPPS: This is not about auto-completing commands, only command parameters.

I'm currently trying to switch from OpenSUSE to Ubuntu as my main OS. While most of opensuse features is there in ubuntu, there is one feature that doesn't. In Opensuse, I can always use Ctrl+Up to autocomplete the command line using previously typed command. That feature is very useful for me as it allows me to work faster without having to retype long command.  Can anyone provide a way to enable this on Ubuntu?  Thank you

Looking for a utility that allows me insert an item into the list of applications that GNOME knows about.   For example: I have downloaded Eclipse EE (I have some very special plugins that I need to work with, and those plugins don't "like" the version available in the default repository). I'm using GNOME 3, on Ubuntu 11.10. So I want to execute Eclipse w/o opening a terminal and running it.   It must be something very simple.

I need to enable scroll lock so I can toggle lights on my keyboard. This works on Arch.Funny thing it doesn't work on Ubuntu.    $ xmodmap -e ‘add mod3 = Scroll_Lock’ xmodmap:  unknown command on line commandline:1 xmodmap:  unable to open file 'mod3' for reading xmodmap:  unable to open file '=' for reading xmodmap:  unable to open file 'Scroll_Lock’' for reading xmodmap:  4 errors encountered, aborting.

After a recent update (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS), TAB complete on the command line is slow. After entering a partial command (e.g evi [TAB]) or partial filename (e.g. evince somedocu[TAB]) the shell, sometimes though not always, hangs for several seconds.  Personally, I'd prefer a less powerfull autocomplete to a slow one. Is there a simple fix?  Edit: Additional information related to comments:   PATH is pretty standard. ~/bin has some bash scripts  $ echo $PATH /home/USERNAME/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/games  The number of files in the working directory is less than 100. The autocomplete feature was especially slow after unusual disk activity (system upgrade). It is, thus, possible, that rereading /usr/bin and other directories caused the lag.

I switched to zsh completely on a previous arch install and I LOVED it mainly because arch is one of the distros that capitalizes your Documents, Downloads, Music and such directories in your ~ directory. Since I wasn't used to that and I use tab completion for almost everything in the terminal zsh was like heaven for me compared to bash.... I swear this feature used to be active automatically because I don't remember having to tweak anything to make it work that way. I probably figured it out on accident. xD But I would greatly like to have this feature restored on my new pc using zsh as my main shell, and if anyone knows how to do this I would really appreciate a reply. I tried activating every option in the completion configuration and that didn't seem to do the trick... so that brought me here. PS: I used to be a lot more up to date with my Linux know-how, and my knowledge has grown stale... I'm trying to remedy that... (without the use of the shift key, as much as possible... haha)

How can I scroll in bash using only the keyboard? If it's not possible in bash, are there any other shells that support this?
