Ever since I found out that #emacs#dired allows me to use S to symlink exactly how C and R can be used to copy/rename, I try to always do my symlinks in dired in emacs and not in the terminal.
No one can keep ln -s straight because depending on the specifics, the way your brain deals with sentence ordering can change. From/to, source/destination, all get muddled with here/there. Does it mean that what's here points to what's there or does what's there point to what's here? What's the original which I should not delete gets confusing.
@harish Ah. So the thing is the original and the where is the other place it will show up at? That's a nice way to think. I would still prefer the emacs way, but this might be useful. I'll keep it in mind.
