Well it's too late to change now! It's one-handed, even on Dvorak, which is a bit annoying.

I don't think it's too much of an ask for people to define their own aliases for it, though. The overlap between people who install custom command-line tools and people who know how to edit their shell config can't be small.



If it was for the sake of usability, "asd" was far easier to type than "exa" where my fingers have to dance around when the name doesn't mean anything anyway.


  alias asd=exa
I already have

  alias h=ls
  alias hh='ls -l'
  alias lrt='ls -lrt'
  alias lrta='ls -lrta'
(The first two because I use Dvorak, in which case I'd use 'aoe' instead of 'asd'.)
