my favorite things to use on the terminal
Submitted by twovests in programming (edited )
- Ctrl+Q. When you ctrl+S, it pauses the terminal! Ctrl+Q unpauses it.
- Tab: auto-complete.
- Up-arrow to see previous commands.
-
^to do replacements. (E.g.cp my_fiel.jpg; ^fiel^file) -
!!The the previous command. (E.g.sudo !!) -
history | grepterm` To search my command history for a command I ran before. - Making the history size larger in your bash profile.
-
!1234: To re-run the 1234th command in your history. -
!ls: To re-run the lastlscommand -
!?ls/hmoe/home/Re-run the lastlscommand, replacinghmoewithhome -
cd ..to move up a directory. -
cd -to move to your previous directory. -
ls -lthto show a list, sorted by time, with human-readable filesizes. (E.g. 4.0K instead of 4096). (ls -lht also works) -
clear; python: I like to have as much vertical space as possible when I start with Python. - Ctrl+C; Ctrl+D : Both tell a program to exist
- Ctrl+Z: Suspends a program. (Useful for returning to it)
-
jobs: Shows lists of suspended jobs (as suspended by Ctrl+Z) -
fg 1: Starts job 1 back up. -
kill %1: Kills job 1. -
*: Wildcard expansion. E.g.rm archive-*.zipwill delete archive-0.zip, archive-1.zip, etc. Be careful with this! -
!$: Represents the arguments to the last command you ran. E.g.mkdir /etc/lib/var/usr/home/bin/very/long/nested/directory; cd !$ -
~: Stands for your home directory. -
sl: Choo-choo! -
sl-h: Choooooo-chooooo!
