cd - sounds like one of those tiny, but infinitely useful tricks I
wish I had learned years ago.
In returns, here's a little trick I've learned recently(though I'll
admit I still use the more cumbersome method out of habit):
ctrl+l will clear the terminal. Not that useful, but it's still many
fewer keystrokes than typing the clear command.
Also, PS1=STRING will change the command prompt to STRINg. PS1=$ is
usually the first command I type when launching a fresh terminal since
my terminal screenreader likes to repeat the prompt every time a new
empty prompt is displayed, I tab complete more than one character, or
cycle through my command history and I don't need constant reminders
of my user and host names and if I forget what directory I'm currently
in, I have pwd for that. Though, if anyone knows what config file I
need to alter to make $ the default prompt, or go a step further and
make the prompt say tty followed by the active terminal number, that
would be great.
