or just by voting, or a trash can set on fire.

I'd say that the initiative to tax big businesses usually gains traction when the government desperately needs the money.

To the point of deciding to rob their own friends a little.

And I suppose there must be some point between a period of crisis and one of absolute prosperity when things are actually decided according to what the common people want. After all, sometimes you do win the lottery.

Sorry, I can't even give you a TL;DR. I did what I could to condense it.

something nice to have on the GNU/Linux CLI … when using <TAB>, bash completes it if any file matches the first chars I already typed. but what if I'm typing stuff like, il-est-midi-01.m4a, and I next need to type il-est-midi-02.m4a, etc, etc? it will stop at il-est-midi-0, and after I type the next available digit, hitting <TAB> will not complete the file name in the onlymost reasonable way.

instead, a double <TAB> will give you a list of options and you have to choose explicitly this is different from Windows, which will cycle through the options — and that catches me off-guard every time, the command being auto-completed to something I was utterly not expecting

in Windows, it's utterly confusing 😂

my goal is to have the next non-existing-most-reasonable name suggested and autocompleted.

you may want to try your luck with bash-completion

chatgpt suggested I would try this one: _seqext_complete() { local cur=$2 dir base stem f name tail ext candidate local had_nullglob=0 local -A seen=() COMPREPLY=() dir=${cur%/*} [[ $cur == */* ]] && dir+="/" || dir="./" base=${cur##*/} # The current word must end in a number. [[ $base =~ ^(.*[^0-9])([0-9]+)$ ]] || return 0 stem=${BASH_REMATCH[1]} shopt -q nullglob && had_nullglob=1 shopt -s nullglob for f in "$dir"*; do [[ -f $f ]] || continue name=${f##*/} [[ $name == "$stem"* ]] || continue tail=${name#"$stem"} [[ $tail =~ ^[0-9]+(\..+)$ ]] || continue ext=${BASH_REMATCH[1]} candidate="$cur$ext" if [[ -z ${seen[$candidate]+x} ]]; then COMPREPLY+=( "$candidate" ) seen["$candidate"]=1 fi done (( had_nullglob )) || shopt -u nullglob }

quite obviously, it does not work.

I understand what you want but can't tell you if it's possible with bash completion.

Try Ctrl+r

and learn history. man history

Replace 'echo' with your command and '12' with the index of last file you want

so... I found it

(yes, I replied to a message from Aug 2025; turns out, I could search by exact file size in Discmaster)
