Is it actually inconvenient? I think it only took me a month or something to get used to typing `./` for commands not in my path when I switched to Unix (and someone explained why adding a . to path was a bad idea); I don't think I've forgotten to type `./` when running a directory-local script or binary in decades.
The difference between "run a system command" and "run a command in this directory" is as different to me as "the cat" and "a cat" -- I'm as likely to forget the `./` as I am to forget an article when composing a sentence.
- nemetroid 6y agoOn e.g. a Swedish keyboard it's physically inconvenient, since '/' is typed by pressing Shift-7. I agree with your distinction between system and directory-local commands though.
- swirepe 6y agoI've never seen a Swedish keyboard before. Neat. On my keyboard I've remapped the caps lock to control, pause/break to suspend, etc. Is "§" used often, or could that be safely remapped?
- nemetroid 6y agoI don't think I've ever seen anyone write a § except when discussing its uselessness on the keyboard (much like ¤). It's somewhat common for people to switch to US layout while programming, probably more so than remapping.
