Most people never type a full file name on the command line, they normally just use file name completion.

And if they happen to have a lot of files that are only distinguished by some single character, what would be so difficult about typing that one character then?

Because you would need to know the code for å in all kb layouts, on all OS's,

WTF!? Why would you ever need to know that!?

No, it isn't. Why would it be?

Incompetence didn't go anywhere.

Now that's certainly true, but the beauty of open source software is that we can fix bugs when we encounter them.

Why not just use SFTP?

I settled with Debian because 'apt-get dis-upgrade', of course.

A friend showed me an early version of Debian, probably sometime around 1996, and it was immediately obvious that this was the way. It's been Debian for me ever since.

This includes the Linux greybeards too.

I never switched to Windows, but switched directly from AmigaOS to Linux, in 1994.
