List only regular files

I desire to list all inodes in current directory that are regular files (i.e. not directories, links, or special files), with ls -la (ll).
I went to the man ls searching for type and found only this which I didn't quite understand in that regard:
--indicator-style=WORD
append indicator with style WORD to entry names: none (default), slash
(-p), file-type (--file-type),
classify (-F)
How could I list only regular files with ls -la (ll as my shortcut in Ubuntu 18.04)?

ls doesn’t have an option to do this, and you shouldn’t parse its output to filter regular files.
find can be used to find and list regular files instead of ls. Another option is to use Zsh and its glob qualifiers:
ls -l -- *(D.)
lists all regular files, including those whose name starts with a dot.

find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -ls
This would give you the regular files in the current directory in a format similar to what you would get with ls -lisa (but only showing regular files, thanks to -type -f on the command line).
