Hi all,

This question is aimed at those of you who use the terminal a moderate
or heavy amount on the Ubuntu Phone. We're adding some short-cuts to
common commands that people may use and wanted to survey people to
find out what they tend to run on their phone. Later this feature will
be fully user-configurable, but we'd like to ship some sane defaults
beyond "top, clear, ls, rm".

So one way you could contribute is to do the following:-

1. Run this command on your phone (ie. via adb shell, phablet-shell or
if you're a complete masochist, type it manually in the terminal).
Please don't run it directly on your desktop, we're currently wanting
commands you type on the device.

history | awk '{print $2}' | awk 'BEGIN {FS="|"} {print $1}'|sort|uniq
-c | sort -n | tail | sort -nr

(this lists out the top 10 commands from your bash history, sorted by
most frequently run)

2. Add your name and results to this etherpad page

http://pad.ubuntu.com/TerminalPreDefinedCommands

(feel free to sanitise your list if you have stuff in there which is secret)

Note: If you can't access the Etherpad, you need to a) have a
launchpad account, and b) join this team
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-etherpad .

If that's too much effort just tell us in this thread.

We'll collate the data and ponder whether this was a good idea, before
taking some of the commands and adding them to the terminal when it's
next updated in the store. Again, later you'll be able to easily
configure these yourself.

Cheers,
