Oh, if you want to avoid running a built in command like ls or cp and want to run the actual thing in /usr/bin, you prefix it with a ^, so eg ^cp -p.

Interesting. What does the ^ do in this situation?

And I just want to not respect an alias, so falls back to either builtin or path.

In zsh or bash I can prefix the command with the word command, or a backslash (directly before the command)
