Do you live in the terminal? You know that it comes with an OCD for customizing your environment. I learned recently that the sudo prompt is customizable.
[sudo] password for suft:
The default just bothers me. No colour or glyphs. You can fix this mortal ricing sin with an environment variable.
An example of what to append to your ~/.bashrc
export SUDO_PROMPT=$'\e[31msudo\e[0m password → \e[34m%u\e[0m: '
export- propagates the environment variable to child processes.$'...'- ANSI C Quoting interprets\e,\n,\t, etc.\e[Nm- ANSI colour codes (terminal feature, enabled by$'...').%u- sudo prompt interpolation which expands to the username (not bash)
