I tried to ask this in a precious question but my question was probably unclear, so let me try again.
In the video, he clicks 1 button and is able to make "~/my_really_cool_project/" appear on the screen, for example at around 2:05. How do you do this shortcut instead of type it out long-hand?

Treehouse TeacherHi there! Close, but not exactly. He starts typing the name of the file/directory, but then what he does is hit the "tab" key. The tab is your autocomplete here. But note that you will have to have typed something unique enough that it can perform the autocomplete. For example if you have myproject.md
and mypets.txt
and you type in myp
it will not know which one you're thinking about. To get to mypets.txt
to autocomplete you would have had to type at least mype
and then hit tab.
Hope this helps!

So weird. I have tried this before and it didn't work. Just tried it now and it does work. I can't complain now...
