Everyone need be aware, bash uses emac extensions by default. As I refuse to use emacs, I therefore refuse to use these extensions in bash!
In as most sensible people use vi, don't taint yourself by touching this foul and evil emacs magic. Being known as an emacs user could cost you a job, shorten your career, or even cause
rifts with family and friends.
Instead my friends, if you must use such bash shenanigans, switch it to vi extensions. You'll feel better about yourself, stand taller, and be a better human being as a result.
Be safe.
- adityaathalye 2mo agoWell, Emacs shenanigans are why I use Bash. Also, I last had a day job five years ago, I don't have anything that looks like a career, and well you're right about some of the family and friends. You are a soothsayer!
- apercu 2mo agoIt’s a funny comment, but it’s also sort of true. Back in the stone ages I had to go from Solaris to sunOS to QNX to Unixware to HPUX to Linux to BSD (maybe freeBSD was in there too) and many others that I can’t remember. Oh yea, Irix, too. This is all in a 2 year period. Vi was the only editor that was on all of these machines so I (to this day) could never be bothered to learn anything else.
