I never understood why this hasn't been modernized. The three-letter nearly-meaningless directory names seem so obsolete.

Unless your ssh'd into a machine, it's annoying to type long dir's. What's worse is compensating for spaces in filenames.

Thank you freework, didn't know about that one (embarrassing as it is to admit).

Still sucks dealing with spaces when it comes to command processes like ffmpeg -i <no_tab>...but awesome for cd'ing or ls'ing!
