When you write the command name wrong, bash often does this:
septi@norbert:~$ good
No command 'good' found, did you mean:
Command 'gold' from package 'binutils' (main)
Command 'gmod' from package 'gmod' (universe)
Command 'goo' from package 'goo' (universe)
Command 'god' from package 'god' (universe)
Command 'geod' from package 'proj-bin' (universe)
Command 'gord' from package 'scotch' (universe)
good: command not found
Or sometimes it does this:
septi@norbert:~$ nftp
No command 'nftp' found, but there are 23 similar ones
nftp: command not found
Is there any way to ask bash to show these 23 similar commands for me? And, is there a way to show similar commands, including those that aren't yet installed, instead of running the application, ftp
for example?
