Cycle through the last argument of previous commands in Bash

In Bash, when I want to repeat the last argument of the previous command, I usually type !$. I just discovered that you can also use ALT+. to cycle through the last argument of previous commands.

ESC-g for glob expansion in bash

Just like <TAB> expands a filename given a prefix you can also expand a file name given the middle part of a file name.

Example:

$ ls
abc1def  abc2def  abc3def  abc4def  abc5def
$ ls *2*<ESC>g

Which will expand to:

$ ls abc2def

But the lack of tagging, categories, an integrated calendar or archive of my posts and the fact that I can’t seem to find my posts with Google made me rethink if soup.io is actually the best option to archive my tips. So I’ll give WordPress a shot…
