Same here, I also find that aliases for speed introduce unnecessary complexity and mental overhead later on. It's not much, and for other people it doesn't matter or they have a different preference, but that's what I prefer.

Sort of contrary to that I really enjoy the maximalist shells. A computer should be fun to use!

I don't use aliases, but abbreviations that expand to the actual full command. Helpful to type less and history has the exact.

I like this. What do you use to accomplish this?

I don’t know exactly what they’re referencing, but Zsh has something like that where you can expand eg filenames and paths from this unique bits.

So if you have

``` src/components/Button.vue src/components/ButtonGroup.vue ```

And you type `nvim s/c/G<Tab>` it’ll expand to the second file’s path.
