In Ubuntu 18.04, you can achieve this by using the same command for both `cd` and `ls`. Simply run a single command like `ls -l /path/to/dir` or `cd /path/to/dir` without switching between them. This way, `ls` behaves as `cd` and vice versa.

In Bash, you can assign shortcuts like alias ls="cd" and alias cd="ls". It's a way to simplify commands. But I'm curious about why you're asking—what's the point?

You receive the results after confirming the correct bash environment. It works for you in this case.

it seems the usual command isn't functioning, but changing it to alias ls='pickle' might help

they seem to be running commands independently without returning results if the directory is empty. Check the output for details. Your alias is set to cd and you're seeing the contents of /var. The shell used is bash.

It seems like there might be no issue with your setup. Bash aliases usually work fine.
