I dislike this immensely. It costs nothing to type "~/bin" in front of the command each and every time. And it means I can put comma's wherever I want in some commands that use them, like SQL ..

I do, however, like to comment my custom commands:

    $ mv ~/Desktop/*pdf ~/Documents/PDF # pdfsync
    $ for i in ~/Documents/Development/JUCE/JUCE_Projects/* ; do ; cowsay $i ; cd $i ; git pull ; git fetch --all ; git submodule update --init --recursive ; done # updatejuce

CTRL-R "updatejuce" or "pdfsync" .. and off we go ..

A much nicer way of finding my custom commands ..
