If you are using bash you might try using the auto completion option. 
When typing a command line if you hit the tab key the shell will attempt
to auto complete based on the first few characters you type, if you hit
the tab key twice it will list all of the options if there are several
files with the same first few characters.  

I use that a lot for those applications that use spaces in the file
names.  

Might help with that problem.
