On mine I by default was given these aliases among others. alias l.='ls -d .* --color=tty' alias ll='ls -l --color=tty' alias ls='ls --color=tty' alias vi='vim' Thus the \vi forces use of vi instead of vim and \ls uses ls without the color option. A very good reference on commands and how shells work would be "Unix Shell Programming" or "Linux in a Nutshell" They both are outstanding desktop references. > > > > Michael Schwendt > <fedora@wir-sind-co To: For users of Fedora Core releases <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx> > ol.org> cc: > Sent by: Subject: Re: How to eliminate "ls" color in xterm - > fedora-list-bounces > @redhat.com > > > 09/25/2004 06:00 AM > Please respond to > For users of Fedora > Core releases > > > > > > On Sat, 25 Sep 2004 05:14:26 -0400, Bob Goodwin wrote: > > > How can I eliminate color in "ls" listings? > > > > In .bashrc can add alias ls='ls --color=never' > > > > But this does not change the listing in the gui terminal window. > > > > There must be a place to "alias" ls for something like ls -l --si > > --color=never ? > > I type \ls instead of ls when I don't want the colours.
