  Notes:

  $ echo $HISTFILESIZE

  $ alias ll
  alias ll='ls -l --color=tty'

  Observations:

  • I like history (strange, considering how low my high-school grades on the subject were)
  • “Every-day” actions don’t need a CLI any more (yay for the Linux desktop maturing!)
  • Too much work makes Jack a dull boy

  Passing the meme to George, Diomidis and Christos.

   • I should be ashamed for producing and posting the following result.. And believe me.. I really am..

     242 ls
     165 cd
     95 clear
     79 vim
     39 su
     38 find
     36 rm
     20 ssh
     18 ps
     17 sudo

     Hm.. I ve just realized that reality and I have something important in common.. We ‘re both hard..

   • Here’s a way a long history becomes really useful:

     <

     p>

     bind '"\e[A"':history-search-backward # first words of a command + up arrows
     bind '"\e[B"':history-search-forward #write first letters of command and then control-W to grep the history
     bind '"&#92;C-w"':"&#92;"&#92;C-k&#92;C-ahistory | grep '^ <em>[0-9]</em> *&#92;C-e.'&#92;C-m&#92;""

     Start writing a command line and press up and down to find a similar one in history.

     I use it quite often for my regular sshs, cd’s to often-used directories, etc.
