A while ago I made a tiny function in my ~/.zshrc to download a video from the link in my clipboard. I use this nearly every day to share videos with people without forcing them to watch it on whatever site I found it. What’s a script/alias that you use a lot?

# Download clipboard to tmp with yt-dlp
tmpv() {
  cd /tmp/ && yt-dlp "$(wl-paste)"
}

    Hey OP, consider using $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR instead of /tmp. It’s now the more proper place for these kinds of things to avoid permission issues, although I’m sure you’re on a single user system like most people. I have clipboard actions set to download with yt-dlp :)

    My favorite aliases are:

    alias dff='findmnt -D -t nosquashfs,notmpfs,nodevtmpfs,nofuse.portal,nocifs,nofuse.kio-fuse'

    alias lt='ls -t | less'

      alias lt='ls -t | less'

      Good idea! I’ll steal that but I would rather be able to give a directory path as parameter (and show in colors, and don’t pause if less than 1 page of content, and support the scrolwheel), also piping ls forces it to be 1 single column so might as well show more details, personally I’m gonna use this instead:

      lt() { ls -t --color=always -Fgoh "$@" | less -RF --mouse; }
