Extend your bash completion !!

I have downloaded zip file, I wanna extract it on command line.

$ unzip [tab][tab] -> if it displays only zip files instead of all files is that won't be good ?

Yes !!

here you go :

put below line(s) in your .bashrc file or in .bash_profile you are done with it !!

complete -A file -X '!*.zip' unzip

for other completions :

complete -A file -X '!*.php' php

complete -A file -X '!*.pl' perl

complete -A file -X '!*.c' gcc

complete -A file -X '!*.sh' bash

complete -A file -X '!*.gz' gunzip

complete -A file -X '!*.tgz' gunzip

complete -A file -X '!*.Z' gunzip

complete -A file -X '!*.gz' tar

complete -A file -X '!*.tgz' tar

complete -A file -X '!*.Z' tar

complete -A file -X '!*.awk' awk

complete -A file -X '!*.sed' sed

complete -A file -X '!*.zip' unzip

now you can get completion for php,perl or create for any of your favorite language.

Persistent undo with Vim 7.3

Persistent Undo -> You can do undo after save and quit, reopen later on a file.

Create a directory 'undodir' under your Vim's runtime path i.e ~/.vim

$ mkdir ~/.vim/undodir

Put below settings in your .vimrc file :

"================================

au BufWritePre /tmp/* setlocal noundofile

set undodir=~/.vim/undodir

set undofile

set undolevels=1000 "maximum number of changes that can be undone

set undoreload=10000 "maximum number lines to save for undo on a buffer reload

"================================

Save .vimrc and quit.

Now open some text file do some changes in it, save and exit. Re-open the same file and press 'u' will undo your previous changes.

Happy Vimming !!

Thanks,

Satya
