Picture this: BASH, except every command automatically generates an "undo"
command which is the exact inverse of whatever the interpreter executed. These
undo commands are stored in a file and you can move forward, backward, and
jump around like you're a chronomancer.

I helped make a script that saves the last directory you CD'd to in every
shell / terminal. It helps because when I open a new terminal I'm already
where I was working last, which means I'm less likely to forget what I was
doing.
However, it does make my home directory a bit more messy, as I no longer open
my computer to that place.

I made an alias that overwrites cd so I don't have to do this. The important
line is line 27, you could probably accomplish something similar like this:
alias cd="cd ${1} && ls -v --color=auto"
I also set it up so I can change more than one directory up using ... or ....
or .....
also I have a few shortcut scripts, cdir and qcd. cdir creates a quick way to
drop a bookmark wherever I'd like, while qcd can make permanent bookmarks.
Also qcd makes it so whenever I open a new terminal it opens to the last
directory I was in, which is nice if you need a new terminal to do something
in the current folder and you don't want to have to walk alllllllll the way
back.

"the problem with linux is you have to spend part of the program just...
interacting with the filesystem. like, where is their /usr/bin file? (oh it's
called a directory over there, my bad) weird they put their config over here

all strategy games should (by default) show other player's mouse cursors.
players should treat them like units in the game. they should lead and command
with them. they should talk to the other player, and visit and vview
invormation as they will.

then bind shift to everything that you can.
can also bind backspace and delete if you have enough keys
