Tip:
- When you have a terminal open, and you can’t actually read the text because it’s too small and you’re old and have bad eyes, you can quickly make the terminal window (and the text) bigger by pressing <ctrl>+. Of course, <ctrl>- makes it smaller as well, and <ctrl>0 resets it to “normal” size. Of course, these keystrokes work for quite a few windows!
