I spent a minute translating into bash, but the escaping escaped me. I did this a little while back, and recently had to use a Mac without these little aliases and it was annoying! (We know that mousing was objectively faster and cognitively slower than keyboard use.
I wanted to treat every app as if it were a command. I tend to open documents with open ~/Do… I wanted a way to open more things like this. If you use a terminal and aren’t familiar with the open command, I urge you to take a look.
I moved to MacOS X because it offers both a unix command line and graphical interfaces, and I almost exclusively use the command line as I switch between tasks.
