2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
- Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations. - Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.

- Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

Ayo chill
I approve of the ice to coke ratio. I am now chill.
Good
How about just one keyboard shortcut and enter.
Always amused me that
sudo !!is actually more keypresses (at least on keyboards where typing!requires holding Shift).You just blew my mind.
sudo [space] [shift] !! [enter](4+1+1+1+1+1) is one keypress longer than↑ + home + sudo + space + enter(1+1+4+1+1). In your face, universe.If you have an actual home key. If it's ctrl+a or (IIRC, AFK) ctrl+← then we're even.
And if we track hand movements then pressing ! twice may be faster than moving to another key.
But yeah, it's not at all clear that
sudo !!is faster like you'd expect it to be.But it's faster since your hand move less and you can keep
shiftpressedI use zsh with the sudo plugin. Double tap
escand your current or last command will be prefixed with sudo.I don't dabble in black magic. /j
It's actually pretty neat.
Start with ctrl+p, ctrl+a but yes
Ctrl A is easier to reach than the home key
Unless you’re in a default screen session (I always thought ^A was such a dumb default for screen to use).
Screen must have been written by someone who wasn't familiar with the shell. It's the only logical explanation.
Maybe someone who only used csh? I can’t remember if ^a is a default in that shell. I thought it started with ksh or bash.
ETA: just looked it up and I’m dumb. Comes from emacs (of course) and looks like it was introduced in bash. I guess I could claim ignorance, being a VI man, but I actually knew at some point that it came from emacs. I think I can count on 1 hand the number of times I’ve used emacs
