So, moot point.
no, that's why a 'clear' command does exist ;). However, if 'clear' should be too much to type when writing a scrip, there are better workarounds regarding script portability, than using an alias for 'clear' ;). FWIW using an alias such as 'll' when posting to a Linux related mailing list is frowned upon for good reasons. Anyway, making 'll' a default is something completely different, than making 'cls' a default alias. Nothing is speaking against using the alias 'cls', I'm not against it, but I dislike making too many aliases a default for a distro. Basic shell commands should be the same for all distros, adding too many aliases to a distro, especially the MS DOS related ones, could cause confusing distro specific accents. Q: "Do you know dash and bash?" A: "Yes, but only the Ubuntu accent!"
