Long options can be abbreviated if unambiguous, so these are (currently) equivalent, since no other long option starts with g: ls --group-directories-first ls --g Furthermore, you can write a shell alias or function to automate your favorite settings. For example, my .bashrc has: alias ls='ls --color=auto -F' (you may want to refer to a local Unix users group or better online forum for help in writing shell aliases/functions for your shell of choice; particularly if you use tcsh instead of bash) > > My request i, is it possible to add a short name for this option ? Unfortunately, no. There are too many options and not enough letters for every long option in 'ls' to be given a short letter; we prefer to use the precious resource only for things that have been standardized or which are pre-existing practice in other implementations of ls. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
