    CTR + u will delete the whole command. I use that a lot so I don’t have to backspace. It’s saved me a ton of time

      It’s been abandoned btw. People recommend to switch to alternatives. Fastfetch and hyfetch seem to be the best ones rn.

      Though I can’t confirm as I wrote my own minimal fetch

    pv (Pipe Viewer) is a command line tool to view verbose information about data streamed/piped through it. The data can be of any source like files, block devices, network streams etc. It shows the amount of data passed through, time running, progress bar, percentage and the estimated completion time.

    Getting cheatsheets via curl cheat.sh/INSERT_COMMAND_HERE

    No install necessary, Also, you can quickly search within the cheatsheets via ~. For example if you copy curl cheat.sh/ls~find will show all the examples of ls that use find. If you remove ~find, then it shows all examples of ls.

    I have a function in my bash alias for it (also piped into more for readability):

    function cht() { curl cheat.sh/"$1"?style=igor|more }

    • atools, which includes als, aunpack, apack. so you can stop caring about the kind of archive and just unpack it. it also saves you from shit archives that have multiple files/dirs in their root.
    • perl -e / perl -lne / …
    • units
    • bc - a calculator that’s actually good
    • pass - the only non-shit password store tool i’ve found so far. no gui, uses gpg and git to do the encrypting and storage/sharing
    • alias lr='ls -lrth' - so you can easily find the newest file, cos that’s frequently what you want
    • unip - my script to look up things in the unicode db
    • find -type f -exec xzgrep 're' {} + - because xzgrep cant do -r

    oh yeah, and for the shell readline, alt-b, alt-f, ctrl-w, ctrl-u, ctrl-k, ctrl-a, ctrl-e

    Zoxide, dust, fd, rg, btm, tokei. So many newer Rust tools that are way better than the old stuff.
