    clear because apparently I am too scatterbrained to comprehend more than one full page of text in the terminal

      I like using CRTL+L to clear. It’s nice because you can have a command typed out and still be able to press CTRL+L to clear the screen and keep the command typed out.

        Use script instead, you can even have it in your .*shrc to run automatically whenever a shell is invoked (make sure to add a check that the shell wasn’t invoked by script, so you don’t inadvertently forkbomb yourself)

        Alternatively, just use Terminator as yout terminal emulator and enable the logger anytime you need it to record the shell session.

        Also, use bookmarks. That’s what they’re there for. 100 tabs is a great way to clutter your brain, but terrible for productivity. If you forget about it after bookmarking, it wasn’t important to begin with.

          Oh god I also do this… See the comment below, I ran history|cut -d " " -f 5|sort|uniq -c|sort -nr|less on my personal laptop, my third most commonly used command (behind ls and cd) is just typing in nothing…
