If you don't want to change the directory permanently, you can try something like this
$ sh -c "cd '$mydir' && makepkg -fsri"
This will create a new shell process to do the work and changes to the shell environment, including the working directory will happen for that process only.
Be careful of correctly nesting quotes to handle spaces in bash ...

It's not that UNIX formats everything the same.
Any command you run can also write formatted output.
When you run for instance ./gradlew appRun, just redirect the output (both the error stream and the standard output stream to a file)
./gradlew appRun &> mylogfile.log

You can no longer access those lines in mate-terminal.
Increasing the number of scrollback lines doesn't help either: The terminal doesn't remember all the lines and reveals only the configured amount; it remembers only the configured amount.
That being said, if the given terminal tab is still open, there's still some chance that the data wasn't actually ...

It works if you disable the menu in the settings or by pressing Ctrl+Shift+M.

Either export the variable so the subshell that runs the script sees its new value
export PS3='>'
./select.sh
or set it only for the script

Since you’re using Debian, your ps supports combined so-called “BSD-style” and “Unix-style” options, you can use the n option which uses numbers for WCHAN and USER:

With GNU findutils, and a shell with support for process substitution (ksh, zsh, bash), you can do:
xargs -r0a <(locate -0 php.ini) vi
The idea being to pass the file list via a -a filename rather than stdin. Using -0 makes sure it works regardless of what characters or non-characters the file names may contain.
With zsh, you could do:

Let's clear up some basic errors:
The signal is not queued. Queueing is a specific thing when it comes to signals, and does not happen with this particular signal. The signal is masked.
This particular signal is not SIGSTOP. The susp character causes the line discipline to send a SIGTSTP.
As with so many things that contradict the 1980s view of the ...

@Patrick's IFS hack is only necessary for dumb shells like bash and zsh. fish splits the string on newlines by default.

And God help us all if a single one of us actually has a file with a newline in its name. After 17 years using Linux, I haven't seen it even once. I'd only bother supporting filenames with newlines in them for ...

What you describe sounds a bit like a notebook, recently popular for interactive programming e.g. in Python. Jupyter Notebook supports quite a number of different kernels, and there are even two for bash, calysto_bash and bash_kernel.
The development of Jupyter Notebook started with IPython, an enhanced Python shell that runs in a standard terminal, but in ...

toe lists the terminal descriptions known to Terminfo on the system; by default it only lists descriptions stored in its default directory, rather than all the locations it knows about (e.g. /etc/terminfo on Debian-based systems), so

man bash explains it:
Aliases are not expanded when the shell is not interactive, unless the
expand_aliases shell option is set using shopt
Enabling the option in a script is not common, though. Declare a function instead.

The .bashrc file is really intended to be sourced in interactive shells - to allow it to be source in a non-interactive environment such as bash -c or su -c without error, it's not uncommon to add an "interactivity test" somewhere near the top of the file.
For example, the start of the Ubuntu default .bashrc file (copied from /etc/skel on account creation) ...

Well, I managed to fix the issue by asking the developers of Windows New Terminal about why I'm unable to paste Unicode over SSH connection.

I have just tired this in konsole( the KDE terminal). It showed the flames as a box (indicating no character in the font). I then went to the font configuration for the terminal, almost all fonts show a box, a space, or a hexcode character.
One font (that had the name emoji in the name) showed the flames.

I tried it with printf and it worked:
Try: printf 🔥 >> file.txt
You could also do an alias:
# $1 = File, $2 = Emoji
alias addEmoji="printf $2 >> $1"
Mind I switched the arguments around because I had some issues displaying after I pasted the Emoji.
If you want to play around with Unicode some more, I recommend this:

Assuming that you are not using a real hardware terminal, as mentioned in the answer(s) to your linked question, there is probably no need to worry about it.
Note that rather than being an alias, typically the reset command starts out as a symlink to the desired utility; then that utility's executable detects which name you ran it with and changes its ...

This is probably a baud rate error.
You don't say whether this happens while you're logged in, or if the console is waiting in the login prompt. By default agetty is started with option 115200,38400,9600 (see /lib/systemd/system/serial-getty@.service). When agetty receives a break on the serial line, it will switch to the next baudrate circularly.

The command I had seen was tput. One could use it ± as in my question:
echo -n "$(tput home)"
But of course that particular example is redundant; it's wasteful to run the stdout of tput into an argument that echo will write to its own stdout. It might make a little more sense if you needed to generate a string of echo -n "$(tput thing1)some text$(tput ...

Check "script".
From "man script":
script makes a typescript of everything printed on your terminal.
It is useful for students who need a hardcopy record of an interactive
session as proof of an assignment, as the typescript file can be
printed out later with lpr(1).
If the argument file is given, script saves all dialogue in file.

That's the terminal sending xterm's focus-in/focus-out escapes. vim's set the terminal into a mode that lets it know when the cursor leaves the window (which it does when alt-tabbing).
You would prevent that by changing the mode used in vim for handling the mouse. Checking xterm's documentation, vim would have to send a particular escape sequence with ...

No, it's not possible at all. The terminal (console) is a rectangular grid of characters.
Also, the "input" vs. "output" separation doesn't go as you think it goes. When you press the letter l (the first one of the command you type) then it goes through the kernel to your shell, which happens to decide to print an l (but it could just as well print anything ...

Emacs is capable of sending escape sequences to change the color palette, and restoring the palette. If it is paying attention to the xterm-256color terminal entry, it can (still) choose different colors within that palette which are not necessarily available to the GNU ls program since that depends on the configuration used for LS_COLORS.

You must configure your terminal type as putty, putty-256color, or putty-sco when using PuTTY, or things based upon it such as MobaXTerm. They are the only terminal types whose entries in the terminfo database correctly describe PuTTY.
It is a widespread incorrect assumption that terminal emulators are all compatible with XTerm, and that the xterm and ...

To be sure, a terminal session is not quite the same as a shell. A shell is a command interpreter, a terminal session opens a new virtual terminal that runs a shell [command interpreter].

What you do is should stop trying to write MS/PC-DOS programs. You are using a completely different operating system.
