I could (1) prepare a file with typed commands separated by end-line, (2) make it executable, (3) run it from a file-system manager or the terminal.

But this is ridiculous for not repeatable and every-time-other sets of commands.

Can I type those commands to the terminal in one request instead?

I don't know end-line character for the terminal - Ctrl, Shift or Alt with Enter doesn't work.

You can separate commands with && or ;.

• 
  

  && only runs the next command if the previous one exited with status 0 (was successful) :

  
  
  

  command1 && command2 && command3
  

  
  


• 
  

  ; runs every commands, even if the previous one exits with a non zero status :

  
  
  

  command1; command2; command3
  

  
  

You can combine these separators as you wish.

If you are interested to type each command on its own line in one single request you can use the following method:

• Start your request (first line) with if :; then (this mean: if true, then do) and press Enter; your prompt will change now in > and nothing will be executed.




• Type your commands, each one followed by Enter




• Finish your request with with fi (end of the above if condition) and press Enter. Now all your commands will be executed in the given order.

Example:

radu@Radu: ~ $ if :; then
> echo 'something'
> echo 'something else'
> echo 'List current directory contents:'
> ls
> echo 'Change current directory with root directory:'
> cd
> #finish
> fi
something
something else
List current directory contents:
Backups Desktop forma3d Public Untitled txt.txt~
bin Documente Music Templates Videos
configuration.php examples.desktop passwd~ tmp~
Downloads file~ Poze Ubuntu One
Change current directory with root directory:
