I find that when you are going to perform some kind of action on a file,
and you have found it using ls -la, highlight the file and ctrl-shift-c.
Then whetever your command is, command ctrl-shift-v.

That's a better option than command filename-without-last-part* because 
there may be two or more identical first part filenames, but different
extensions. The most obvious is filename and filename.bak. Another 
common example is a filename with two or more version numbers in the 
extensions.
