Symbol Scanner and .bashrc for fast system navigation via the command line terminal

Howto fast command line system navigation via alias' in your ~/.bashrc and a symbol barcode scanner

Here are some alias you can set in your ~/.bashrc
Make sure to remove wrap where necessary and source your bashrc(sbrc) in every terminal that hasn't already loaded your modification. I will update alias' as I go. To have as a reference for you and me. pixelbeat.org/cmdline.html, also has a nice cmdline reference. I though this would come in handy for someone. I made a barcodes cheat sheet, use it if you are to lazy to type. You can also make your own cheatsheet and pass it on to your best buddies with your bashrc :) Enjoy.

Note: You may need to type/scan sudo before some of these alias'.

Now we can use these alias' as bar codes. We can create bar codes with kbarcode. Then use them with a Symbol LS2208 barcode scanner or any scanner that understands Code 128 format, etc. You can change what the alias does for a scanned bar code. Instead of re-printing a new sheet of barcodes. I created 10 custom commands. You can set these to anything you like. I mostly use my alias to keep my commands in a central place. I helps me to keep things organized and easier to find. Instead of writing them down. Saves me time. I don't have to look through my notebook for the right commands.

Please share your .bashrc

You can get a symbol on ebay for $100-$150. This makes it very convenient to use for system maintenance. Especially if you know what commands you have to run ahead of time for a full system install. :) I've been working with python for a little while now. I would like to make a script to create barcodes for me automatically after I modify bashrc(nbrc&&sbrc)

You can download my current odt file. The password is lowercase "linux" without the quotes. I plan on adding prepend/append codes for a tab key or enter key to the cheat sheet. You can just store your .bashrc file on a usb stick. Plug it in with your trusty cheat sheet, a scanner and your on your way. I still don't know of a good way to transfer files via a keyspan. Is it possible? I think what I will do next is tape some cheat sheets on my walls next to my pc at home. Then I can sit relax and not type so much. :) I will keep updating this file.

Thank You.
