Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
  • Β 

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    While you are at it, look up readline shortcuts.

    The default ones are the same as in emacs, so if you know emacs, you probably know them too, but Control-U kills (roughly equivalent to "cut" for non-emacs people) from the cursor to the beginning of the line, which emacs doesn't do; that defaults to something like M-- M-1 C-k in emacs.

    If you're a vi person, you can do set -o vi and use vi functionality. Hit Esc to go into vi-style command mode.

    In emacs it would be C-u - C-k I think.

    [–] tal@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    That'd be equivalent. Emacs has a number of way to input arguments to functions.

    [–] nesc@lemmy.cafe 2 points 1 day ago

    True, I forgot that it's possible to pass argument with M-#. 😺

    I feel like I forget those that I just don't use often enough, and when I would need them I default to what I know (which is always a slower way than knowing a shortcut) in a "hurry".

    Guess I should just print them and tape the paper next to my monitor.
