I also occasionally forget the -s, and really wish it was the default since I'm almost always creating a symbolic link.


Could you maybe add:

alias ln='ln -s'

to your .bashrc? A quick test of this in my terminal and the alias takes precedent over the ln command. Although, I guess it'd be worth doing a few tests to make certain!


Sure, but I'd rather not get bitten when I'm on a system where I don't have that alias defined.
