  • A neat thing is that a lot of command line programs use readline. So learning and configuring it will also be useful in for example the Python REPL and calc.

    Here are some neat configuration options you can put in ~/.inputrc

    set completion-ignore-case on
    set show-all-if-ambiguous on
    set completion-prefix-display-length 9
    set blink-matching-paren on
    set mark-symlinked-directories on
    

    And if you are a sensible person who is used to vim

    set editing-mode vi
    set show-mode-in-prompt on
