does anyone else feel like
$ cls
is really linux-y, and
$ clear
feels really windows-y?
i feel like they should be swapped

    That's true, I remember always getting stuck between those two. It feels like 'Clear' is a dumb statement while 'cls' is command.

    @aitkotw was trying to clean up my terms and i just kept going
    $ cls
    not found
    "goddamnit"
    $ clear
    "this is ridoculous."

    I only ever type clear if Ctrl+L doesn't work for some reason.

    Also, alias cls="clear"
    Problem solved :)

    What always trips me up is the ln command. Even now I can't remember if it's <target> <link> or the other way around on Linux.
