I like to create aliases to speed up and maintain my quirks, follow:
cls - is the most used, to CLEAR the screen and history I put the alias in the
~/.bashrc
file
alias cls='printf "\033c"'
alias l='ls -lahr'
alias g='gedit'
Now with regard to editing files (despite having some knowledge in VIM), I have preferred to use gedit!
See that there is a menu with (Keyboard Shortcuts)... in it I liked the
F9
which shows the tab on the left and allows you to edit the files in the directory!
Another important support tip is that if you are doing the remote test (use the
CTRL + MOUSE_SCROLL
) to adjust the screen size!
