A while ago I made a tiny function in my ~/.zshrc to download a video from the link in my clipboard. I use this nearly every day to share videos with people without forcing them to watch it on whatever site I found it. What’s a script/alias that you use a lot?

# Download clipboard to tmp with yt-dlp
tmpv() {
  cd /tmp/ && yt-dlp "$(wl-paste)"
}

    alias sl='ls | while IFS= read -r line; do while IFS= read -r -n1 char; do if [[ -z "$char" ]]; then printf "\n"; else printf "%s" "$char"; sleep 0.05; fi; done <<< "$line"; done'

    I can’t easily check if it works until I get home to my laptop, but you get the idea
