I don't understand how you think anything is easier than typing 'fuck' and have it identify and correct your mistake for you?

Lets see in order to use "fuck" I need to first install it and its dependencies. The caret substitution natively exists in the Bash shell. Also I know that no matter what system I am on be it OS X or Linux the caret syntax is guaranteed to work. I don't understand how you think anything can be easier than using the functionality that has existed in the Bash shell shell(or even C shell variants)since forever.

  If that were how things worked, we'd never use any new technology. Obviously it is easier to pay a one-time up-front cost than to slog away inefficiently forever.

    >"If that were how things worked, we'd never use any new technology" Nice try. That's a straw man. This isn't new technology. Its simply replicating existing functionality. >"Obviously it is easier to pay a one-time up-front cost than to slog away inefficiently forever" Whats the average typo 1 character as in most of the demos for "Fuck"? So I can either type 2 carets and 4 letters for a total of 6 characters or I can type the 4 characters in the word "fuck", how is the former inefficient? Wow, what a slog. I can't imagine what I will do with all the time I will have left over after installing this"

      Speaking of straw men, this program does more than simple typo substitution. The listed examples include prepending sudo and using git-suggested commands.

        >"The listed examples include prepending sudo" Which you can get by typing: sudo !! and git completion is in contrib: https://github.com/git/git/tree/master/contrib/completion https://github.com/git/git/tree/master/contrib/completion Not really a strawman is it?

        Well, yes it is, because again, I was just giving examples. Look at the list under "how it works" in the readme, and there's plenty of items there that aren't simple substitution. It'd be a lot easier to just 'fuck' for most of those than have to mentally parse what you need to do to 'fix it'.
