cut&paste previous stuff like you were in a text file.
and you can look at a file in the current folder with c-x c-f filename.
- chills 8y agoPart of the magic of eshell that can use elisp functions as if they were shell commands. So instead of C-x C-f filename, you can use find-file filename as a command. find-file in particular is useful as an alias.
