If you use the terminal much, tab completion is absolutely fantastic. It will also automatically escape characters that need escaping. For example, if I have a file named "Gregg's book.epub" and I want to convert it to mobi, I type:
Code:
ebook-convert G
then hit tab, it auto-completes to:
Code:
ebook-convert Gregg\'s\ book.epub
If you could then type G and hit tab it'll auto-complete using the same file name. You can then backspace to delete the epub extension, and type in the new mobi extension.
