Yes, install the 'bash-completion' package then restart your terminal
(or open a new one) and then you can use the Tab key to automagically
complete commands, filenames and directories. Some commands even have
associated completion-capable switches, too; but that's dependent on the
program's packaging.

Hope that helps.
