_thebrain_Alias's rule
Endymion_MallornMint 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?
wheezyPeople type clear instead of CTRL+l?
I’ve never had a terminal that that didn’t work in. Or at the very least have a shortcut be able to be set for.
CTRL+L and clear command do two different things (at least when using Bash on Debian):
CTRL+Lscrolls the terminal output one screen so you don’t see your previous output;cleardoes indeed clear a screen, and your previous command history is available only through thehistorycommand.
If you want CTRL+L to clear your screen you can add following to the .bashrc:
bind -x ‘“\C-l”:clear’
Note that it might not work if you use Vi mode inside Bash.
