 ## Useful Information
-
+- `ls` is an alias for `eza`. If you want more info than the normal `ls` run `eza`, `l`, `ll` or `la`
 - `qtbatticon` is a custom battery icon tray, because `cbatticon` and `batticonplus` did not work. Click on it to get more info about the battery.
 - `man` and `manix` use `fzf` for fuzzy search of pages.  
 - `pkgs-unstable` can be used for unstable nixpkgs packages.
