It's not that my fingers are falling off because of the additional 3 |
| 11 |
keystrokes. Now, I do 85 wpm approximately, but I don't think that |
| 12 |
two-finger-eagles (or one-finger-eagles) would feel much assisted |
| 13 |
either. This kind of behaviour would rather confuse me - I for one like |
| 14 |
being told if I screw up instead of finding myself into a directory I |
| 15 |
didn't want to go to. If I want to change directory, than I want to (be |
| 16 |
required to) type cd. Also, there's a chance to screw up scripts with |
| 17 |
it, and scripts being the soul of any GNU/Linux machine... If this |
| 18 |
becomes a standard feature of bash, I (and everybody else) will have to |
| 19 |
learn to live with it, otherwise: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
if this is a vote, mine is a (resounding) nay. |
