Ok, if I don't remember the complete command name and I like to use the
tab key to show me a list of available commands (r typing the complete
command name is to much work, then I first type the first characters
without sudo, push the tab key and after that I add sudo.
[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ ch
chacl chattr checkdotdin checkupdates chfn
chmod chpassword chrt
chage chcon checkgid checkXML chgpasswd
chmorph chromedriver chsh
charmap chcp check_hd cheese chgrp
chown chromium chuser
chat chcpu check-regexp chem chktex
chpasswd chroot chvt
[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ sudo ch
Alternatively I run su or sudo -i and than continue using commands
without sudo.
If I add a launcher or a /usr/share/xsessions/*.desktop file, I
sometimes use the complete path too, just in case.
