    Ha! You can be in another directory and reference a file in your own with "~/". I never thought to do that! #linux #learnSomethingEveryDay

      @theru Yep, that is what keeps Linux fun. Always more to learn. Always more ways to do things. (Cats should be weary how easily skinned they are.)

      @theru I would always cd ~ then reference the remote directory/file from there. #funStuff

      @nybill Here's another one. If you're going to "cd ~", you can just "cd" instead.

      I don't think that's the same "of course" I think you mean. '~bob' means "Bob's home folder" even when I'm logged in as another user. '~/bob' means a file or folder in my current loginID's home folder.

      @nybill I have discovered that I have a pet peeve about "vi" users who close the file with ":wq" rather than just ":x". Pretty widespread!

      @clacke Not a regular vi user but I do this, didn't know about :x. The reason I did :wq was because the first thing I tried was :q and it complained about unsaved changes.. I bet that's how a lot of people learn that.

      @gargron @clacke Yeah I've been using :wq the whole time.  I'll likely still use it though.

      @gargron First time, I assumed it a quirk of that office, X taught it to Y etc. Then I noticed it was widespread. Thanks for your angle. :-)

      @normandy @gargron Once that muscle memory is there, probably wasted effort to change. Especially as you'd save, what, a 1/10th sec? :-)

      @clacke At the college where I first encountered vi, we were taught :wq. In all my years of using it, this is the first time I've seen :x.

      @nybill it's different! Try this: "cd /bin; cd /usr/lib; cd -" → "cd -" goes back to the #previous dir = /bin. "cd .." would have been /usr
