Tips & Tricks:
Hello all,
First time listener, I caught your most recent podcast regarding, and heard you mentioning little useful terminal command. Ctrl+L is an interesting one I’ve never heard before. Much like the others, I don’t see myself needing to hide my terminal lol, but my haste tends to cause me to typo ‘clear’ so that’s useful.
You also mentioned Ctrl+U and I actually use that a lot, but mostly with Ctrl+Y which returns the previous line that disappeared with Ctrl+U.
This can be useful for, if example, you’re about to run a series of commands on a target directory, and already wrote out the command. Instead of typing the absolute path each time, you can Ctrl+U after you’ve already typed out the command, change to target directory, and then press Ctrl+Y to return the typed out command.
It’s a small thing, but there are plenty of times where this allows you to complete a missed step without having to clear what you wrote.
I enjoy your podcast, and will probably keep listening!
Steven
