Easily find IPv4 address
For a long time I've used ipconfig in Windows, and ifconfig in Unix to find out my local IPv4, for different purposes.
There are times when your screen is small, or you have an extensive amount of network adapters connected to your computer, making this list really extensive. I know you can pipe it into less, in order to avoid scrolling, and filter with grep, but that's rather cumbersome.
I was wondering if there was an easier way to find the basic information your DHCP provides you (gateway, IPv4, and subnet mask), without having to squint your eyes in order to find the numbers you are looking for, and without having to look up a command in your notes or Google.

An easy way to see your IPv4 addresses is:
ip -c address -- The -c parameter adds colour to the IP addresses, so you can easily find it. It's easy to remember, and short.
I usually use ip -4 -c -o address, since I am only interested in IPv4s, and not IPv6, and I personally prefer to see each adapter in one line. This also facilitates piping into grep without much trouble.
You can calculate your subnet mask out from the (default) /24 after the IP, but I don't know if there is any easy way to see it. The same goes for the default gateway, if it is known that it is located on the first IP address, as it usually is.
