Use a shell with decent auto-completion. I have not been irritated by this in years.

What shell would you recommend? ๐Ÿค”

I use fish which is quite nice OOTB, although if you want a posix compliant shell, zsh with some plugins is also great.

If you need to run a set of commands or a script with fish you can just toss them in a file and run bash file.sh. I have been daily driving fish for years and I don't even have think about it.
