hi, I am on ubuntu 16.04 with GNU bash 4.3.48, is there anyway to have 'rm -i' (and similarly for 'mv -i' and 'cp -i') to accept a simple Enter press as a yes confirmation? I don't want to type that extra 'y' every time. ubuntu apt install for example is able to admit a plain Enter key as a positive answer, which works really nice. Thanks.
I have tried google this, but not much successful, partly because it is hard to phrase it without getting into other similar but unrelated searches. I understand I can go mess up GNU coreutils code or write up my own bash rm function, but these are all heavy duty to me. I am looking for some light settings, such as flipping some bash flags to make this happen. I am aware of rm -I which sort of alleviates the problem, but that's not a general mechanism, for example, mv/cp doesn't have -I option as far as I can tell. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Linux Users Group.
