    I like the bell one. It’s useful to print a few of those at the end of what you expect will be a long program run to get your attention when it’s done.

      It’s a good idea, although some terminals will pause output when they play the sound. I always disable any sound from my terminal anyway, because computers should be seen and not heard. 😆

        Oh interesting. I tried turning off sound and now ctl-g flashes the terminal instead. (Fwiw I’m using the built-in terminal on a Mac.)
