The point of this blog is going to be to provide useful computer tips and also tell what I have been up to. Now on with the post.
This is hopefully going to be a useful tip to some people. For those of you who are new to unix (on osx or linux) and are reading about commands using “man [command]” in the terminal it gets very annoying to move through it at the slow speed of using arrow keys, here is a little fix. In terminal your going to type (I use zip as the example command)
- man zip >test.txt
- open -e test.txt
- rm test.txt
Now you should have a text edit window with that man file up!
Enjoy
