@hpincket It's a good solution, but my fingers prefer "clear;ls -al" to just "ls -al", and really tweaks a nerve when I get an error and then my ls output.

@mike I have several emacs abbrevs (automatic replacements) defined for exactly the same reason. My fingers are dumb sometimes.

@splatt9990 Yep, back in the old DOS days, I used to have one setup for "dri" because I typoed "dir" so many times my friends made fun of me for it.

@smt @mike There are three aliases I could never do without in my daily workflow:`alias cl=clear``alias gp=git push``alias gpa=git pushall` (with pushall defined in the git config to push to all connected remotes at once)I really believe in the power of 2-letter abbreviations for the most used commands - it saves a ton of typing headaches and wasted brain cycles over the long run,honeslty. ๐

@marty I tried to do that for a while, but muscle memory really messed me up. I almost always use a clear before an ls or ls -al, so I aliased the whole thing to just mls, and I still was always typing clear;ls -al every stinking time before I realized I could just type mls -al and get the exact same thing. There are so many better ways of doing it than the way I do it, but I just can't get any of them to stick in my workflow.@smt
