Programming humor

I don't even use the CLI that much, and even I know ctrl+r.
 
Some protips I've learned over the years (aka Pankis' shell cheat sheet).
This all applies to bash, YMMV.

CTRL + A: Jump to first postion (Home)
CTRL + E: Jump to last postion (End)
CTRL + XX: Jump to first position, doing it again jumps back to where the cursor was.
CTRL + U: Store the currently typed command and clear the prompt. (I.e. you type a command and realize you need to do something else first)
CTRL + Y: Restore what you saved with CTRL + U.
CTRL + Q: Pause the output of a program
CTRL + S: Resume output
CTRL + Z: Suspend currently running program (job control)
CTRL + L: Clear the screen

ESCAPE, #: Put a # infront of the current prompt and submit it (basically comments out your current command, can still be found via history)
ESCAPE, BACKSPACE: Remove whole word.

There are lots more, but these are the ones I find most useful and actually use quite a lot.
Anyone interested in aliases? :D

Click to expand...
Cheers, these will come in handy for sure. And the aliases? No idea but shoot :D
 
alias sum="awk '{s+=$1} END {print s}'"
alias findinfiles="grep -rn '.' -e "
alias sortedports="netstat -tlpn | sort -t: -k2 -n"
alias fucking="sudo"
 
Yeah, I set the fucking="sudo" as well. Causes hilarious moments if you have to show someone something on the terminal.

"Did... Did you just type in 'fucking' and it worked?"
"... Yeah."

Yeah, except that those motherfuckers will always find a way to tell you that it's your problem instead.
