Chapter 4 – Helpful Tips with Your Pi

Along your creative journey with your Raspberry Pi you are going to want to know some of these useful tips that will make working with your device even more of a cinch.

If you are highly familiar with Linux and the different coding and scripting, then odds are you won’t need as many of these tips, but then again you probably wouldn’t be reading any of this if you are already well-versed in code and script.

When you are writing out script there is actually a command that functions similarly to the autofill feature in search bars and on your cell phone’s messaging service.

Only, this one is made specifically for coding. How great is that? When you are typing out prompts you can just type the first few letters and tap on the tab key.

If the shell can figure out exactly what you are aiming for it goes ahead and gives it to you, but even better it gives you a rundown of all the other prompts that you could be aiming for.

Definitely great regardless of your level of code writing. The less you have to memorize the better.

You can also jump around your commands by simply pressing ctrl+E for the end, or ctrl+A for the beginning of the command.

This is just like jumping to the beginning or ending of a word document by pressing ctrl+home or ctrl+end.

If you haven’t ever worked with code up until now, those long strings of coding can get longer than the checkout lines on Black Friday.

As your building your work you might want to take a screenshot just like you would on your pc or mac.

The difference is you need to a little bit of ‘scrotting’ (you know, running the sudo apt-get install scot command), in order to get the digital content of the screen converted over into a PNG that can then be opened wherever you wish.

You will encounter, if you haven’t already, a prompt that comes up when you are coding that says you have to be the ‘superuser’ in order to execute it. This horrible command is frustrating to say the least. You are the ‘superuser’!
