Converting tabs to spaces in many files
Try the following:
find ./ -type f -exec sed -i 's/\t/ /g' {} \;
If you want four spaces, try:
find ./ -type f -exec sed -i 's/\t/ /g' {} \;

How do I use tabs with the Linux "Screen" program?
Add this to your .screenrc file:
caption always "%{= kw}%-w%{= BW}%n %t%{-}%+w %-= @%H - %LD %d %LM - %c"
After you restart your screen, there's a status bar below showing
the current tab name, and as a bonus your current host name and
time -- modify them away at will if you so wish.
To rename a tab, press Ctrl+a+A and give it a new name.
You can move between tabs (well, windows but think of them as
tabs) with Ctrl+a+tabnumber or Ctrl+a+n (go to
next tab) / Ctrl+a+p (go to previous tab).

how to enable command line autocomplete after sqlite
From: http://www.linux.com/archive/feed/54005
complete -G "*.db" sqlite would associate .db files with sqlite.
For permanent associations, you need to add the command to one of
the bash startup scripts, such as ~/.bashrc.
source
In vim, how can I quickly switch between tabs?
(Unfortunately) vim also uses
CtrlPgDn/PgUp to cycle through
tabs. You'll need to use map to map
tabn/tabp to something usable.

How do I turn off or adjust the clever tab completion in Ubuntu (Programmable Completion)
comment out these lines in /etc/bash.bashrc (it may
be in ~/.bashrc):
if [ -f /etc/bash_completion ]; then

Number typing issue on RedHat
Maybe something in your keybinding is messed up.
If you're on KDE, could you check the following: (If you're on
Gnome, let me know)
- In the terminal screen goto
Settings
- Choose
Edit Current Profile
- Goto the
Keyboard-tab
-
Edit the default
- Type in the textarea a
6 in the
Input-box
What output do you get in Output-box? It should say
6.
If you got a 6 somewhere in the left column in that
list above that, it doesn't belong there.
Edit:
If you get the input/output boxes you
are probably using Konsole from
Kde.
Some follow-up questions (you can edit your question
with the answers):
- Are you indeed using
Konsole? Check
Help>About ???.
- If it is
Konsole: Could you check
Settings>Configure shortcuts? Is there a
6 (you can type 6 in the search to get
all the 6's).
- I take it you can type the
6's in all other
applications?
- Are you using a desktop or laptop?
- What shell are you using? (You can type
echo $0
to determine if bash, ksh etc...)
- If in
bash: could you do a bind -p | grep
6? You need to paste the 6 from another
application because you can't type it. Is there a "6":
self-insert?
- Do the
8 and the 2 do something?
(Like scrolling up/down if you have enough lines in terminal) Or
do they work properly?
- You could try a different shell. If you're in
ksh try typing bash +
enter
If you're in bash try typing ksh
enter. (or other combination)
- And last (I know, it's a lot :)
If you start the gnome-terminal (if it is still
installed) can you type the 6?

Unix tab tab equivalent?
I don't know how to accomplish exactly what you're asking, but
instead you could possibly use the find command:
find /usr/bin -iname "ssh*keygen"

What are some Linux lightweight PDF alternatives that support tabs?
If you have the KDE libraries installed, I suppose you could use
Konqueror - it's really intended as a web browser, but it has
tabs, and it can display PDFs using the Okular KPart.

Porting GNOME keyboard shortcuts to URXVT
You can do this manually by modifying the perl extension for tabs
(tabbed) and changing the keys it responds to. I got it to change
tabs with alt + 1 ... alt + 9 by modifying the
tab_key_press method:
You can get the original tabbed script from the source
distribution of urxvt in the folder
rxvt-unicode-9.15/src/perl/tabbed, find the
function, and replace it with the method below.
When that is done, you can save the modified file in
/some/folder/tabz and run urxvt with urxvt --perl-lib
/some/folder -pe tabz
I think it should be possible to configure this with with X
resources (~/.Xdefaults), so perhaps I'll make a version of the
script that reads from there in the future and mail it to the
urxvt maintainer, but for now:
sub tab_key_press {
my ($self, $tab, $event, $keysym, $str) = @_;
warn "keysym: ", $keysym;
#if ($event->{state} & urxvt::ShiftMask) {
if ($event->{state} & urxvt::Mod1Mask) {
if ($keysym == 0xff51 || $keysym == 0xff53) {
my ($idx) = grep $self->{tabs}[$_] == $tab, 0 .. $#{ $self->{tabs} };
--$idx if $keysym == 0xff51;
++$idx if $keysym == 0xff53;
$self->make_current ($self->{tabs}[$idx % @{ $self->{tabs}}]);
return 1;
} elsif ($keysym == 0xff54) {
$self->new_tab;
return 1;
} elsif ( $keysym == 0x31 || $keysym == 0x32 || $keysym == 0x33 ||
$keysym == 0x34 || $keysym == 0x35 || $keysym == 0x36 ||
$keysym == 0x37 || $keysym == 0x38 || $keysym == 0x39
) {
my $idx = 0;
$idx = 0 if $keysym == 0x31;
$idx = 1 if $keysym == 0x32;
$idx = 2 if $keysym == 0x33;
$idx = 3 if $keysym == 0x34;
$idx = 4 if $keysym == 0x35;
$idx = 5 if $keysym == 0x36;
$idx = 6 if $keysym == 0x37;
$idx = 7 if $keysym == 0x38;
$idx = 8 if $keysym == 0x39;
warn scalar @{ $self->{tabs} };
$self->make_current ($self->{tabs}[ $idx ]) if ($idx < (scalar @{$self->{tabs}})) ;
return 1;
}
}
elsif ($event->{state} & urxvt::ControlMask) {
if ($keysym == 0xff51 || $keysym == 0xff53) {
my ($idx1) = grep $self->{tabs}[$_] == $tab, 0 .. $#{ $self->{tabs} };
my $idx2 = ($idx1 + ($keysym == 0xff51 ? -1 : +1)) % @{ $self->{tabs} };
($self->{tabs}[$idx1], $self->{tabs}[$idx2]) =
($self->{tabs}[$idx2], $self->{tabs}[$idx1]);
$self->make_current ($self->{tabs}[$idx2]);
return 1;

The tabs
program clears and sets tab-stops on the terminal. This uses
the terminfo clear_all_tabs and set_tab
capabilities. If either is absent, tabs is unable to
clear/set tab-stops. The terminal should be configured to
use hard tabs, e.g.,
stty tab0
options
General
Options
-Tname
Tell tabs which terminal
type to use. If this option is not given, tabs will
use the $TERM environment variable. If that is not
set, it will use the ansi+tabs entry.
-d
The debugging option shows a ruler line, followed by two
data lines. The first data line shows the expected tab-stops
marked with asterisks. The second data line shows the actual
tab-stops, marked with asterisks.
-n
This option tells tabs to check the options and
run any debugging option, but not to modify the terminal
settings.
The tabs
program processes a single list of tab stops. The last
option to be processed which defines a list is the one that
determines the list to be processed.
Implicit
Lists
Use a single number as an option, e.g.,
"-5" to set tabs at the given
interval (in this case 1, 6, 11, 16, 21, etc.). Tabs are
repeated up to the right margin of the screen.
Use
"-0" to clear all tabs.
Use
"-8" to set tabs to the standard
interval.
Explicit
Lists
An explicit list can be defined after the options (this does
not use a "-"). The values in the list must
be in increasing numeric order, and greater than zero. They
are separated by a comma or a blank, for example,
tabs
1,6,11,16,21
tabs 1 6 11 16 21
Use a ’+’ to treat
a number as an increment relative to the previous value,
e.g.,
tabs
1,+5,+5,+5,+5
which is equivalent to the
1,6,11,16,21 example.
Predefined
Tab-Stops
X/Open defines several predefined lists of tab stops.
-a
Assembler, IBM S/370, first
format
-a2
Assembler, IBM S/370, second format
-c
COBOL, normal format
-c2
COBOL compact format
-c3
COBOL compact format extended
-f
FORTRAN
-p
PL/I
-s
SNOBOL
-u
UNIVAC 1100 Assembler
portability
X/Open describes a +m option, to set a terminal’s
left-margin. Very few of the entries in the terminal database
provide this capability.
The -d (debug) and -n (no-op) options are
extensions not provided by other implementations.
Documentation for other implementations states that there is a
limit on the number of tab stops. While some terminals may not
accept an arbitrary number of tab stops, this implementation will
attempt to set tab stops up to the right margin of the screen, if
the given list happens to be that long.
