Shortcut implementation for ls in 15R2 missing.
by chuckyw from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5ST2K)
Greetings,
I guess im not a noob,but i had stroke about year ago and still having issues with memory. Ive always used Slack, I think the first version I started with was 3.2. All of the versions i've used including 14.2 had a couple of shortcuts for listing files and directories. d for a simple ls, and v for a detailed listing. Ive used those for a good 15 years I guess. I just downloaded 15R2 and they are missing. I know it sounds trivial but i'm constantly forgetting they aren't available. The sad thing about it was I use to know how they were implemented because they were missing on an older version I was using and had to build them myself. I thought that d and v where simple shell scripts but I loose the color rendition on types of files. I spent the better part of a day examining one of the older computers and did numerous google searches and couldn't find one article on the shortcuts. I guess i'm revealing my age here, but if someone could take the time to respond i'd really appreciate it.
