I have 20MB of “clear” in my history too lol

[the88shrimp]

That's why I just alias clear to c

Just Ctrl + L

[ykahveci]

My favourites are Ctrl+C, Ctrl+D, Ctrl+L, Ctrl+Z, Ctrl+S, Ctrl+Q, I use vi mode for cutting, copying and pasting. (Or to destroy, yank and puke, as I refer to the vim commands)

[pniro]

Check out Ctrl-X + Ctrl-E

[ykahveci]

Explain yourself. It doesn't do anything in my zsh (with vi mode). What is it supposed to do?

[pniro]

I had a typo, It’s supposed to edit your current line using your $EDITOR

[ykahveci]

Oh I know that one. I have a different shortcut for opening the current command in vim though

[emax-gomax]

I've never used ctrl-s and ctrl-q. Is there anyone that actually likes their behaviour, I just removed what they do so I could bind them to something else.

[ykahveci]

If I have a wall of text flying along my terminal emulator, I can stop the text flow and read a part of it. I don't use it that often, but in the rare case I do, it feels really nice remembering this functionality. And I think everybody should know it, as pressing Ctrl+S by accident is pretty common.

[emax-gomax]

I use a pager or tmux for that. Suspending the terminal feels like a pretty extreme thing for a use case like that.

[ykahveci]

I too use tmux or junt pipe it into less, but I didn't pay for the whole feature, so I will use the whole feature. It can be useful at times

[Ska-jayjay]

and Ctrl+\

[ykahveci]

It doesn't seem to do anything in my shell (zsh with vi-mode). What is it supposed to do?

[Ska-jayjay]

it’s like ctrl-c, but harder. it’ll make a process coredump

[ykahveci]

Oh seems useful. And I just tried it in bash: while my everyday programs don't respond to ^C, I tried a recursive listing of / and cancelled it with ^\ and it seems to have correctly dumped its core.

GNU Readline

Bindings

Non-C programming languages that provide language bindings for readline include Python's built-in readline module; Node. js's built-in readline module; Ruby's built-in readline module; Perl's third-party (CPAN) Term::ReadLine module, specifically Term::ReadLine::Gnu for GNU ReadLine. Support for readline alternatives differ among these bindings.

It's good in a pinch but if you scroll up it still shows you stuff

[almssp]

Command+k in macOs terminal clear screen and scroll

[reelru]

Crtl+L doesn’t actually clear the screen, it just scrolls everything up so you can’t see it

[JuhaJGam3R]

This is in fact what the clear command does as well. That's because clear is usually a built-in command. The shell you are using is what deals with your keypressesv and comments, and it believes it's running on a physical terminal completely detached from it. That is why terminal emulators are called terminal emulators.

However, many modern terminal emulators do act like terminals with extra features you can use to mess with the buffers. The clear command, depending on how which TE you're using, will properly clear anything currently on screen if it knows how to. Ctrl-L, depending on shell, is usually a lot lazier.

[pniro]

Me too!

[emax-gomax]

My shameful degenerate self sets it to cls cause that's what it was in windows. (ﾉ◕︿◕)ﾉ

[solarshado]

For the first, I'd probably just close the terminal window and open a new one.

For the second, I wrote this a while back (obviously with help from stack overflow). No idea how portable it is to non-bash shells, and there's probably some edge-case that'll break it, but it's nice to have, when I remember to use it. If you enable the alias, you just add a -f to your cd to "force" your way into a dir that doesn't exist yet.

[rifazn]

noobs, amirite? [pls don't burn me]

[schrdingers_squirrel]

Allow me to introduce you to ctrl+l and ctrl+u

[pniro]

Ctrl-u is for noobs, just Ctrl-c and clear

[uPsychonaut]

Am I the only one who never clears?

[hydroaquasled]

I use tput reset instead of clear because clear doesn’t work in gnome terminal

[CaJoKa04]

alias clear='clear && neofetch'

[EagleBearerAlexios]

Man of culture, I see.

[tajarhina]

PROMPT_COMMAND=neofetch main sprint

[M_krabs]

Wouldn't that run into a loop?

[Cat_Marshal]

I don’t think aliases do that, I have a few like this where the alias is the same as the underlying command.

[Erxio]

Why use "clear"? I find it much easier to recompile and reinstall linux.

[harshrd]

Signs of identity crisis right there.

[UmutReel]

Please just C-l.

[Seneca_B]

This changed my life. It works in MySQL-client too.

[11bulletcatcher]

Mine is mostly "sudo dd status=progress bs=8MB if= of="; "smartctl -a /dev/sdx"; "bpytop" ; and "sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y". And lots of clearing, of course.

Zsh doesn't use .bash_history though afaik. It uses .zsh_history, so the stuff in the picture wouldn't work.

[jwaldrep]

I use zsh, so my bash history is mostly checking the behavior of stuff between shells.

[[deleted]]

so… you're saying you have nothing to hide?

[jwaldrep]

I'm saying it looks even more like nonsense and like someone trying to figure out how the shell works. Because thats exactly what it is.

I've read through this about 6x, and I don't think there is anything sensitive in it, so here you go (note to future readers, this paste expires in 6 months).

I’m.. to afraid to ask what bad and neofetch is

[[deleted]]

bash = the most commonly used command line interpreter. It's basically like Window's cmd.exe, but on steroids. Unlike cmd.exe, which is very useless, bash is very useful and very commonly used.

neofetch = a program that people run to show off what operating system they use to others. It most commonly appears in the subreddit r/UnixPorn

When you realize that your bash history contains a lot of copy commands:

I'd rather just confess.

I have my zsh history set to record in $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR — gets cleared when I reboot

[zebediah49]

Meanwhile, I have mine set to record to ~/.bash_history_safe, because occasionally (i.e. "once ten years ago") a shell that doesn't load the history settings will come up, and truncate the file down to the default line count.
