I'm using 12.04 64bit on a Dell Latitude E6410. I want to create a custom keyboard shortcut.
Now I found out some articles that says you can create a custom keyboard shortcut using the Super key. But I can't create any custom shortcut. The status is showing as "disabled". Ideally it should show "accelerated" and then wait for my keyboard combination.
I created a custom shortcut Ctrl+Alt+T that calls x-terminal-emulator. For some reason, it does not work (nothing happens when hitting the mapping).
The average linux users use the terminal commands for many tasks and some certain commands are very frequently used. For example, if you are a user of Ubuntu, you have to type " sudo apt-get install" every time you want to install a new package or the command "xset dpms force off" to turn off the desktop/laptop monitor.
Suppose you have an alias go, but want it to do different things in different directories?
In one directory it should run cmd1, but in another directory it should run cmd2
By the way, I have an aliases for switching to the above directories already, so is it possible to append the go alias assignment to the foo alias?
alias "foo=cd /path/to/foo"
Working in bash(?) on OSX.
In my /home/user/.bashrc file, I have those aliases to prevent mistakes:
alias rm='rm -i'
alias cp='cp -i'
alias mv='mv -i'
If I'm really sure of what I'm doing, I can overwrite rm and mv aliases using rm -f or mv -f, it will not ask me if I really want to overwrite files.
The problem, is that it doesn't work for the cp command, using cp -f will still ask me a question.
Is this normal?
I am attempting to put some alias definitions in .bashrc. Like this:
#Convienience aliases
alias ll='ls -l'
alias ldir='ls -p | grep "/"'
#Temporary aliases
alias mvFooLog='mv ~/Projects/Foo/Log.txt .'
The last alias will work for me, but there seems to be some subtlety which is corrupting the definition of the first two.
Most of my my aliases are of this form: alias p='pwd'
I want to alias git commit so that it does git commit -v
But trying to create an alias with a space gives an error:
$ alias 'git commit'='git commit -v'
-bash: alias: `git commit': invalid alias name
Hello,
Upon a fresh install of Fedora 11 (and as a Fedora n00b), I noticed there are several aliases defined for me.
Code:
$ alias
alias l.='ls -d .* --color=auto'
alias ll='ls -l --color=auto'
alias ls='ls --color=auto'
alias vi='vim'
I am new to linux and was wondering whether it is possible to create abbreviations that can be used in terminal. I know about alias command, but am not sure whether that can be used for what I am looking for.
Example: Say I often need to copy stuff from folder ~/Dropbox/thisfolder.
