1. How can i get the last command line displayed in shell

2. what is the keystroke that invokes filename completion

3. what is the command line executing a program file in shell

1. Use the "UP" arrow.
2. Use "Tab" this will also fill any filename in your $PATH
3. If a program has the correct permission e.g. is executable (755 or rwxr-xr-x) it will just excute!

Hope this helps.

You have to use bash or zsh for the above to work (of course).

Also, to make a file executable, just type chmod +x filename.

Put it in your PATH aswell.
