    John Lewis which I think are bad ideas, even though popular.

    I'm not a fan of getting carried away with aliases as you won't have them on any other system. You're basically creating a non-standard system.

    I just use fish shell and the tab and right hand arrow keys for completion then it spells them right for me.

    Daniel Bull bash can be setup to do that as well, just most people don't bother since anyone that can actually type can usually just correct the mistake faster than monkeying around with stuff like this, or that.
