Emacs ido-style shell

Question

Is there a command line shell or shell customization that supports emacs-style ido find file? In emacs, I can navigate to a directory extremely quickly using C-x C-f and (ido-mode t).

Ideally, I'm looking for a solution that can be used outside of emacs. Though I'd be open for a way to quickly change directories within an eshell buffer.

Answer 1

Since I also wanted something like this, I tried to implement it as a bash completion function. Obviously it means. you have to use bash.

It is only lightly tested, so please feel free to try and report bugs /comments.

Answer 2

Try the Z-shell. It has much better completion than bash. I must admit I haven't used it for a while though and stuck with bash because it's always available.
