@neil@33MHz A good ‘prompt’ trick: in most shells/environments, make “:” a function that does nothing, set your prompt to start with “: “ (note the space) and end with “;”. Then you can copy/paste whole lines, which is much faster in most terminals.
@33MHz@neil Then you can put whatever you want (if anything) in between. So locally my prompt is “:;”, but on cpu servers I set it as “: $sysname;”, and in sh ( not what I normally use) “: sh;” to remind me.
@anth@neil@33MHz Clever! I went the csh way and leaned into numbered command history towards the end of my time with zsh. (All that stopped on switching to fish, which rejected that cshism.)
