How do I use Terminal (1)

Basic terminal use is very handy.

The best button is <tab> (the tab key)

Begin typing a command and press TAB and it will offer you choices, if it does not, then press TAB again and it will give a list.

This also works with addresses and saves typos.

So to edit a file, you may use gedit, so type

ged<tab>

and it says $gedit

Now after gedit begin typing an address /hom<tab>

and it will say $gedit /home/

now press t<tab>

and it says $gedit /home/tawan/

A short way to type /home/tawan/ is ~/

type gedit ~/<tab> and it will say $gedit /home/tawan/
