vi: search string "^~" (unlikley pattern). Useful after search/highlight when you want to drop the highlighting.

When searching in vi, the search string gets highlighted but the highlighting can become a nuisance.

By searching for the very unlikely pattern "^~" the highlighting is effectively switched off.

Find files and format them in detailed list

This command lists extended information about files, i.e. whether or not it is a true file or link, who owns it, etc. without having to 'ls' from the specific directory. If you know the filename, but not the location, this helps with finding other information about the file. It can be truncated by creating an alias for 'ls -l'. The sample output shows difference in regular locate vs. ls + locate.

Remove a line from a file using sed (useful for updating known SSH server keys when they change)

When you SSH to a server who's hostname or IP has changed since the last time a connection was recorded in the known_hosts file a warning will be displayed since this indicated a possible DNS spoofing attack. If this is a known change then this command will remove the previous entry and allow the SSH connection. The SSH client will prompt you as if it was the first time connected to the server.

Replace ${LINE} with the line of the offending key in ~known_hosts. 49 in the sample output.

This will only work on files since ls won't tell the size of a directory contents.

Note that the first switch is the digit one, not the letter ell.
