1. Introduction

Created in the 1970s for natural language processing and artificial intelligence, Prolog (short for “Programmation en Logique”) is a somewhat unusual programming language.

Prolog’s “logic” focuses on defining relationships and facts rather than sequential instructions.

The language is based on three fundamental pillars:

• 1. Vim in five minutes
• 2. Not a tutorial about Vim
• 3. Vim in Emacs: Evil Mode, the emulator par excellence
• 4. Vim in Sublime Text
• 5. Vim in Visual Studio Code
• 6. Vim in Zed: the youngest

1. Vim in five minutes

Vim is not just a text editor, it is an editing language that allows you to interact with text through logical key combinations.

The basis of Vim’s “language” is the “modal” system.

1. Introduction

• Robocopy: The “Robust File Copy” is a built-in powerhouse for Windows users. It’s the native way to handle massive local transfers or network shares (SMB) while perfectly preserving NTFS permissions.

• Rsync: The de facto standard for the Unix world (Linux and macOS). It’s famous for its efficiency—instead of re-copying everything, it only syncs the specific parts of a file that have changed.

In modern desktop environments, from Windows to mainstream GNU/Linux distributions, Alt+Tab remains the go-to shortcut for window switching.

1. Introduction

The “PDF” is the essentially static document format par excellence.

However, even PDF documents can be modified, especially with operations such as deleting, adding, reversing pages, inserting text, and more.

There are various applications, including free ones, for performing these operations.

In this article, I will report some parallel observations between two systems for page manipulation: one graphical, PDF Arranger, and one command line, PDFtk.

• 1. Does it still make sense to perform operations via the command line?
• 2. How do you open a command terminal?
• 3. The “cd” command.
• 4. The “ls” and “dir” commands.
• 5. The “cp” command.
• 6. The “rm” command.
• 7. In conclusion.

1. Does it still make sense to perform operations via the command line?

Talking about the command line in today’s operating systems might seem a bit vintage, as if the topic were a historical remnant of the first personal computers of the 1980s.
