Suggestion for number 7:
There’s already a command line browser preinstalled in Ubuntu and its called w3m.

tip 1 requires a bash shell there doesn’t appear to be a similar command in tcsh (! followed by a tab will find the first old command that starts with eg !l tab would find ls in the command list)

cheers

I used to use a unix script that moved files to /tmp/datestamp. I was glad to see someone hooked into the destop trash api. This is much, much better.

One minor correction, though:

sudo apt-get install trash-cli

Hmm, suggestion 3 should be:

sudo apt-get install trash-cli

The trash command install is:

sudo apt-get install trash-cli
