" i shouldn't have to memorize commands"

the up arrow:

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 87 points 3 weeks ago

The commands: ls cp mv...

Meanwhile you get Windows people who memorize things like Get-AllUsersHereNowExtraLongJohn

Just wait until they learn about ctrl-R haha

I've seen people not realize tab autocompletes.

[-] renzev@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago

I learned that tab=autocomplete when I first played minecraft in grade school haha. I just assumed that it was common knowledge but apparently not...

[-] afk_strats@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

This is me. I'm taking the L on this one and I've (at least occassionally) used Unix-like systems professionally for 15 years. I'm all self-taught on Linux and didn't figure out Tab until I was doing some awful Grub troubleshooting and it spells out that tab autocompletes. So I tried it in terminal and then smirked at the camera like Jim

These people would be mind-blowing if they try fish.

[-] Monstrosity@lemm.ee 9 points 3 weeks ago

Holy shit

[-] chellomere@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago

Wait until you learn about fzf - a replacement for ctrl-r that offers fuzzy search with a nice tui

[-] Monstrosity@lemm.ee 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I'm completely familiar with fzf!

I also generally tap in the first few letters of a command then use pgUp (on my system) to autocomplete. Or use the ol' !<command#>.

But I have somehow never friggin heard about Ctrl+r.

[-] chellomere@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Huh, interesting, I never used fzf outside of ctrl-r!

[-] callyral@pawb.social 2 points 3 weeks ago

holy hell

[-] renzev@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

old response dropped

[-] SinkingLotus@lemmy.world 20 points 3 weeks ago

I'm the type to spend 10 minutes going through my previous commands, rather than 5 seconds typing it.

[-] pogmommy@lemmy.ml 8 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I've got h aliased to history | grep and it's been revolutionary

Alternatively, ctrl+r

[-] jakobmn@feddit.dk 3 points 3 weeks ago

Sounds like you should try fzf to get a better ctrl+r experience.

See also: atuin - a shell history tool that records your shell history to sqlite.

Seamless sync across shell sessions & machines, E2EE + trivially self-hostable sync server, compatible with all major shells, interactive search, etc.

Well, now I know they use gruvbox for the demo/screenshots, I guess I have to see if it can be a replacement for Mcfly.

  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
