Oh. I know. But you don’t understand - I’m compelled to type it out. I must.

I used to, but the terminal clear is better, so I don’t.

Someone who doesn’t know the benefits of dedicated, unlimited scrollback buffers. This command is useful but has a bad effect (when unintentionally).

haha, I can relate to that :). formerly I had the compulsion to execute sync frequently. Now my compulsion is to push Ctrl-C like 4 times every time I need it. I read somewhere that’s common because of ^C has a lack of feedback to the user, so, a script showing an alert that the clipboard received some information helped with this compulsion.
