```

| l | `ls -lFh` | List files as a long list, show size, type, human-readable |
| la | `ls -lAFh` | List almost all files as a long list show size, type, human-readable |
| lr | `ls -tRFh` | List files recursively sorted by date, show type, human-readable |
| lt | `ls -ltFh` | List files as a long list sorted by date, show type, human-readable |
| ll | `ls -l` | List files as a long list |
| ldot | `ls -ld .*` | List dot files as a long list |

## Global aliases
These aliases are expanded in any position in the command line, meaning you can use them even at the
end of the command you've typed. Examples:
Quickly pipe to less:
```zsh
$ ls -l /var/log L
# will run
$ ls -l /var/log | less
```
Silences stderr output:
```zsh
$ find . -type f NE
# will run
$ find . -type f 2>/dev/null
```
| Alias | Command | Description |
|-------|-----------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------|
| H | `\| head` | Pipes output to head which outputs the first part of a file |
| T | `\| tail` | Pipes output to tail which outputs the last part of a file |
| G | `\| grep` | Pipes output to grep to search for some word |
| L | `\| less` | Pipes output to less, useful for paging |
| M | `\| most` | Pipes output to more, useful for paging |
| LL | `2>&1 \| less` | Writes stderr to stdout and passes it to less |
| CA | `2>&1 \| cat -A` | Writes stderr to stdout and passes it to cat |
| NE | `2 > /dev/null` | Silences stderr |
| NUL | `> /dev/null 2>&1` | Silences both stdout and stderr |
| P | `2>&1\| pygmentize -l pytb` | Writes stderr to stdout and passes it to pygmentize |
## File extension aliases
These are special aliases that are triggered when a file name is passed as the command. For example,
if the pdf file extension is aliased to `acroread` (a popular Linux pdf reader), when running `file.pdf`
that file will be open with `acroread`.
### Reading Docs

|-------|-------------|-------------------------------------|
| pdf | `acroread` | Opens up a document using acroread |
| ps | `gv` | Opens up a .ps file using gv |
| dvi | `xdvi` | Opens up a .dvi file using xdvi |
| chm | `xchm` | Opens up a .chm file using xchm |
| djvu | `djview` | Opens up a .djvu file using djview |
