NP. We were all 'there' at some point or another...

When I first found out about <TAB>-completion, I was... very impressed...

It literally made me go "wow!"

Now I use it so much, that I sometimes accidentally get 'access denied' with
ssh, because my fingers automatically just type the first couple of
characters in the password, and then hit <TAB> <ENTER>...

It's a bit like typing <ESC> :wq <ENTER> to get out of any editor...

The fingers just do it, and leaves me with a puzzled look on my face as I
try to figure out why it didn't work... :P

Don't worry, you will.

Cheers,
