a less destructive version of this is to install `sl` on your linux or mac.

  I never type sl, but often type "gerp". I have an alias though.
  • noir_lord 9y ago
    for me it's "date" and "data" since I type both of those quite a lot (I don't have a clock on my desktop, I just use date when I need to know the time, I find a clock distracting because I get that "well it's 27 minutes til that meeting, never getting in the the zone in that time, better check HN" thing).

      I frequently try to "isntall" things...

    A friend of mine aliased `git status` `git statsu`; I, being lazier, chose `git st`. Any time saved I lost by not copying his other alias, `c = commit -amSTUFF`...

      I must be lazier. I use `gitst` for `git status`. That is 1/6 shorter and IMO not harder to remember.

        You all are doing way too much typing gt git status ga git add gdd git diff to develop gdn same but name in only
      • carapace 9y ago
        `gits` also `gitv` = git diff `gitvc` = git diff --cached

        See also SCM Breeze [0], which shortens git commands even more: git status -> gs git add -> ga git commit -> gc ... [0]: https://github.com/scmbreeze/scm_breeze https://github.com/scmbreeze/scm_breeze

    My personal nemesis is "mroe". Also aliased. My wife, who drafts a lot of legal contracts, has a problem with "doe snot", which the spelling checker is more than happy with.

    For some reason I always type FORM in SQL and FROM in HTML. Then I edit.

  reminds me my once time rather enjoyable error of "ls -l | moire" (with xscreensaver installed)

  Fun story: I was in a sys admin class with a friend of mine and we both had access to the same machine to work on our assignments. I aliased each and every common command to `sl -f` on my friend's user as a prank (he never actually logged in as it turns out). However, my instructor, while projecting his screen to 150+ students (and recording) picked our box and my friend's user to use as an example. My instructor was flabbergasted for a few minutes and the class got a kick out of flying trains. :D

  Tip: If you ever trigger sl by mistake, and you're in a hurry, press Ctrl+Z instead of Ctrl+C (which doesn't work).
  • geofft 9y ago
    That seems like a bug in sl: it should signal(SIGTSTP, SIG_IGN) (or put the terminal in raw mode, better yet)

  installed and checked the man page, hmm 'flies like the galaxy express 999' wonder what that is $ ls -F dammit! $ sl -F So I guess it's corrected my typos already :)
