Keep track of file name completions with Viewglob
The Viewglob command-line utility lets you see the files available for your shell command completions in a separate window, leaving your regular terminal window uncluttered.
Viewglob packages are available for various versions of SUSE as well as Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon. The main Viewglob download page also lists RPM packages for Fedora and Debian. The RPM packages for Fedora are for older versions of the distribution and are older versions of Viewglob itself, so I built from source using version 2.0.4. You can install Viewglob from source with the usual ./configure; make; sudo make install dance.
To start Viewglob, type viewglob. That starts a subshell attached to the current terminal in a window to the left of the normal shell prompt. The figure here shows completions for some files in /tmp. I pressed Tab twice to show the normal bash completion offering.
