clearbecause apparently I am too scatterbrained to comprehend more than one full page of text in the terminalI like using CRTL+L to clear. It's nice because you can have a command typed out and still be able to press CTRL+L to clear the screen and keep the command typed out.
I almost never use clear because i'm afraid if i will need the text later.(just like infinity tab number on firefox)
* 20
Oh god I also do this... See the comment below, I ran
history|cut -d " " -f 5|sort|uniq -c|sort -nr|lesson my personal laptop, my third most commonly used command (behindlsandcd) is just typing in nothing...Use script instead, you can even have it in your .*shrc to run automatically whenever a shell is invoked (make sure to add a check that the shell wasn't invoked by script, so you don't inadvertently forkbomb yourself)
Alternatively, just use Terminator as yout terminal emulator and enable the logger anytime you need it to record the shell session.
Also, use bookmarks. That's what they're there for. 100 tabs is a great way to clutter your brain, but terrible for productivity. If you forget about it after bookmarking, it wasn't important to begin with.
100 tabs is in mobile. I don't even scroll back to clutter my brain but its there. Tabs are history for me... So I use firefox focus and if there is anything important, i open with firefox.
What script are you reffering to? To log all output? I don't wanna store that but need an assurance that its there till i close terminal window lol
This
script!Sorry I didn't make it clear that it was a command before
