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.
And if you don't have the calibre completion package installed (causing the completion to not work and even give you a warning in some configurations) you can use ALT + / to complete the filename.
