Alias- not permanent?

[scw_0611]

Thanks my friend, I'll check out and post the result here soon.

go to your profile folder and edit the file .bash_rc with what ever you want


say alias c=clear

and save it.for the effects to take place you need to restart the shell

gooood ! but you have to open shell/konsole first. right?
i mean, .bashrc file get executed only when you open terminal/konsole.

xmodmap -e 'keycode 115=Menu'

this command assigns Windows key to Main Menu ( like windows START button key ).
if i put this command in .bashrc file, windows key wont work on logging in coz .bashrc didn't execute yet.
open terminal/konsole... and lo... .bashrc executed and winkey working.


Avatar ... thanx .. its casper again.

Hi casper,
By opening shell if you mean whether I need to type the command in terminal window to get it executed, the answer is yes.

I would have loved to add a shortcut of these commands on my desktop or better in the menu- is there any way of doing that.

Pardon my lack of knowledge but the rest part of your post I could not comprehend completely.

Thank you again my dear friend.
