Bash edit command

I like doing a lot in one command. Downside it that stuff can get messy. One big line. you can’t easily edit it.
A shortcut to make it easier is ctrl-x-e That will open the current command in an editor.

Few thinks to keep in mind.

  • Multiple lines will work, but it will execute it as separate commands.
  • using && at the end of lines will fix that.
  • Which of course means you get it in the bash history at full.
    This is my main use to chain commands.
