On RHEL5.2 (bash 2.3.25) I can cd `pwd`/[TAB] and pwd is substituted into my current working directory, using the output of pwd(1).
How can I achieve the same functionality in Ubuntu 9.10 (bash 4.0.33).
I have read previous questions that refer to backticks as being old and deprciated. I didn't know this. I can understand nesting them can be difficult, and I use ${} is scripts, but I would like to be able to evaluate commands interactively in the shell.
pwd
