Precise typing? Do you mean hitting tab?
Tabbing? I just copy and paste my commands from ~~stack overflow~~ AI garbage now.
My preferred alias is
alias l='ls -latrF'
It's the command line version of setting your file browser to list files with details instead of showing a grid of icons.
Edit: I did install sl thanks to some of the other comments. Beautiful!
Get thefuck out, and move on.
That's unmaintained pay-respects is a maintained replacement.
I love how it's not just a fork, it's a rewrite in Rust. Of course it is.
quietly cargo installs pay-respects in his corner

I should add an alias for 'snyc'
This is in my ~/.aliasrc :)
Just install the train app
Nah, I've had this in here for +15 years now π

sudo apt install sl
Thank me later
I'm officially done with Google, I think. Search results for 'sl' were nothing useful. But the AI response takes the cake.
"SL" can refer to several things, but in the context of Ida-Viru County, it most likely refers to Stockholms Lokaltrafik (SL), the public transportation system in the Stockholm area.
I don't live in that county, not even close tbh. And even if I did, how would the public transit system in another country, across a sea, be all that relevant to me?
I now used an actual search engine to find this article and will install it, except I don't think I'll see it all that much because I don't think I've ever misspelled 'ls' as 'sl' :(
I remember people groaning in the CS lab in college when they realized they hadn't locked their machine before walking away for just long enough to let someone install sl.

alias ll='ls -l'
ls on smol screen, ls -lah on big screen.
But how would you run sl, the steam locomotive?
I know you're joking but:
\sl or command sl.
I'd say "check your shell documentation" but they're both almost impossible to search for. They both work in Bash. Both skip aliases and shell functions and go straight to shell builtins or things in the $PATH.
There's also /usr/bin/sl but you knew that.

alias cp='rm -rf'
Some people want to watch the world burn.
In order to improve your accuracy might I suggest:
alias i='sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /'
alias s='sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /'
alias sl='sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /'
alias ll='sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /'
...
Etcetera. It will make sure you are punished for typos
Make sure to do
alias i='echo <password> | sudo -S rm -rf --no-preserve-root /'
For maximum damage, even when you're not root!

You can pry my Steam Locomotive from my cold dead hands!
alias arch-update='sudo pacman -Syu && Yay -Syu && flatpak update && sudo freshclam'
Isn't pacman -Syu redundant if you run yay -Syu afterwards? Also, just yay is the same as yay -Syu
In an alias like this, running pacman first has the advantage that the true Arch packages install completely before any AUR packages that require slow downloads, package compression, or long build steps.

Yes but who cares, it works and that is all that matter.
If you would see my dotfiles, you would see a lot of unnecessary shit, because I don't write them to be perfect, I write something when I realize this would be nice in the moment, and I just do it as I know how to and just leave it, as long as it works.

I alias rm to rm -r for easy folder deleting
UGH that shit.
rm deletes a file. It can't delete a directory, you have to use
rmdir to delete a directory...as long as there's nothing in that directory. If there's anything in the directory, you have to know to use
rm -r to delete a directory and its contents, and no
rmdir -r isn't right somehow!

alias apt='reboot'
I recently switched to a mechanical keyboard (with linear switches), and it took me a while to stop mistyping every command
alias cd.. "cd .."
Windows programmer detected!
(I was guilty of this so much)
alias pqsl='psql'
Mint comes with dir aliased for ls, and the only other one I regularly use is cls for clear.
Yes I grew up on DOS, how can you tell?
