For example, if I type: inst #this autocompletes to 'install' Which is good but now if I go and do this: install abr #nothing happens but if I were to do: sudo apt-get install abr #this autocompletes to 'abrowser' which is the expected output. Does anyone know how to fix this? I don’t know if this behaviour is expected but when I used the alias:
alias install=’sudo apt-get install’

I cannot autocomplete anything after I type intall. For example, if I type:
inst #this autocompletes to ‘install’
Which is good but now if I go and do this:
install abr #nothing happens
but if I were to do:
sudo apt-get install abr #this autocompletes to ‘abrowser’
which is the expected output.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

I messed up the copyPaste on the following aliases:

alias i0=’iftoalias up=’cd ..’
alias upl=’cd ..;dir’

the correct pasting would be:

Sorry about that.

I might as well add one of my own that I forgot to include in the original artcle alias lsize="ls -lSrh" #show files sorted by size Thanks dayo, there’s some useful stuff in there.
