HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Ctrl+l you fucking retard
>>54539532
The only retarded thing is that it's not a button near the enter key. That would be better than ctrl+l too
>>54539217
>>54539240
>sudo cd
implying anybody is this stupid
>>54539106
why not use control l instead of defining z as clear?
>>54539590
They're the same number of buttons, but you can do z-enter with 1 hand, which is great when you've got your hand on your balls
>>54539609
z and enter are on different sides of the keyboard.
Why not make it the right click/dialogue key?
>>54539643
I'm glad someone else caught this. I was about to get Trump "small hands" syndrome.

I forgot there's a right ctrl. I wasn't the original guy btw, just dissecting what I thought might be his reasoning

I used sudo tee from inside vim, and removed the retarded UIdelay call with a patch so I could open read only files

Just use the Python interpreter desu, preferably bpython or equivalent.
>>54539106
I too used to have lots of custom bash aliases, but it's just a hassle when you jump between hosts and servers.
The common/boring ones are handy though:alias cd..="cd .."
alias cp="cp -i"
alias df="df -h"
alias diff="colordiff"
alias du="du -sh"
alias grep="grep -i"
alias ll="ls -l"
alias ls="ls -h --color=auto --group-directories-first --time-style='+%d.%m.%y %H:%M'"
alias mkdir="mkdir -p"
alias mv="mv -i"
alias ping="ping -c 5"
alias rm="rm -I"
alias rsync="rsync --progress"
alias sudoedit="sudoedit -E "
alias tree="tree -C"

1. How do you know? That means you browsed Reddit yourself and saw it there. Why are you hating someone for doing the same thing as you? Why do you feel shame for browsing an internet website? Why do you feel the need to defend something while being a hypocrite? Pathetic as fuck.
2. Where does it say it's affiliated with Reddit? wttr.in seems to be just a web-frontend for wego.
>>54540658

Damn you seem to be one mentally disturbed individual.
>1. How do you know?

>That means you browsed Reddit yourself and saw it there.
Pretty obvious...
>Why are you hating someone for doing the same thing as you?
I didn't hate anything, I mentioned it to someone who thought it was 4chan magical insight. No hate, just a simple btw of where it actually came from.
>Why do you feel shame for browsing an internet website?
I didn't display any shame at all, you're imagining things.
>Why do you feel the need to defend something while being a hypocrite?
What is this even in reference to? Seek mental help.
>Pathetic as fuck.
Says the person taking a completely neutral 6 word FYI post and having such extreme mental delusions you start claiming I am hating something and defending something which you seem to be so emotionally outraged over it can't even be made sense of what it is exactly.

bash aliases can be toxic. You will be crippled when you sit down with a Linux machine that doesn't have any of your aliases.
Just memorize the commands instead.

aliases are not for memorizing commands, they are just supposed to make the workflow more fluent

Not him, but usually don't alias install. You package manage is pacman, so just alias pinstall, alias premove, etc.
Thanks for the thread. Haven't really played around with alias much but leeched a few good ideas.
I won't repost anything I stole from here but did want to include my basic gentoo update aliases. Nothing fancy but gives flexibility to have a single command for full update or to still run individual pieces when needed (sync or cleaning)

maybe this is a dumb question, but can you make aliases only visible in the terminal that you use and not the whole system? I want to go nuts making aliases for a lot of stuff but Im afraid it will eventually class with some app that might use that word for something
>>54553542
You could add a bunch of alias commands in some .sh file and then use source ~/path/to/aliases.sh
it'll only apply to your current terminal window

Because sudoedit is built to do this.
Combines ssh, mosh and tmux, with a config file:mmux () {

if [ -e ~/.config/mmux ]; then
params="$(grep "^$host" ~/.config/mmux |cut -f2)"
fi
mosh $params $host -- tmux attach
}
so what kind of command line fu do you guys use to cd in and out of directories? Something with push and pop?
