BashCompletionBell
Stop all that bash beeping
You have to use the bash shell, since it's available everywhere.
Unfortunately the constant beeping when you hit tab to complete a filename on the command line is tedious.
To turn that off, add the following to /etc/inputrc or /.inputrc:
set show-all-if-ambiguous on
and bash will just display the possible completions instead of beeping at you.
Your office companions will probably like this.
