Sl: linux command to help you remember to type 'ls'
- blasdel 17y agoThe man page has a much better description: sl is a highly developed animation program, which corrects your miss typing.
- scott_s 17y agoI am no more likely to type "sl" instead of "ls" than I am to say "mu" instead of "um." Getting the current directory listing is often the first thing I do when I switch back to a command prompt, even if I don't need it. It's an involuntary reflex.
- yesimahuman 17y agoI am used to typing "ll", so I get very frustrated when ll isn't aliased. Also, this means that I have probably never typed sl since I rarely type ls.
- buugs 17y agoI am more likely to type ;l or la by accident but la is an alias for ls -a so that sort of works :)
- fsniper 17y agoA shameless plug: Once I patched sl to have a sports car to make my s/car/cat/ typo bearable :) http://www.yalazi.org/index.php/archives/2008/11/08/slssl-ve-scatcar-yamasi/ http://www.yalazi.org/index.php/archives/2008/11/08/slssl-ve...
- jwecker 17y agoI don't think I've ever misspelled ls as sl (though I've done ls- alf and derivations plenty of times). Now that I've installed this, though, I intend to do it often.
- duairc 17y agoHehe, I've had great fun with this before: http://www.netsoc.tcd.ie/~br0kend/sl.mp4 http://www.netsoc.tcd.ie/~br0kend/sl.mp4
