Shell Auto-Completion / Search feature

[sheharyarn]

When I do

% joe ls

it just prints a blob of all possible joe .gitignore files. _It's not very readable_. If it had auto-completion, we could press tab midway and it would list relevant options for selection:

% joe vi<tab press>
vim          virtualenv          visualstudio

This makes it easier for the user to go through possible options without going insane reading a huge list of names separated by a comma. Or another option would be to create a search feature, so the user can search for relevant options:

% joe search vi
labview
vim
virtualenv
visualstudio

Right now, I'm doing this to filter the list:

% joe ls | awk '{split($0,a,", "); for (var in a) print a[var]}' | grep -i vi
labview
vim
virtualenv
visualstudio

Here's a fork which implements a regex-friendly search command.
