bashrc snippet (with extra newlines, for folks on mobile apps like materialistic that don't understand code formatting):

    # I do this an embarrassing amount

    alias fgf='fg'

    alias fgfg='fg'

    alias gf='fg'

    alias gfg='fg'

This resonates... from mine:

  alias emcas='emacs'

  alias emac='emacs'

  alias emasc='emacs'

  alias enacs='emacs'

  alias emas='emacs'

  alias emascs='emacs'

  alias eamcs='emacs'

  alias eemacs='emacs'
