Mine is using the arrow keys to navigate typed text while writing and editing. It helps speed things up, versus having to move your hand to the mouse to navigate.

Use the Up and Down Arrows to move/jump vertically.

Left and Right Arrows to move/jump horizontally.

Combine Left or Right Arrow with Shift to be able to select text. Use Up or Down Arrow with Shift to quickly select whole/nearly whole sections of text.

Combine Control with Left/Right Arrow to jump whole words to more quickly move to where you want to type.

    To navigate to the previous folder

    cd -

    To reissue the previous command with a prefix. For example:

    cat /root/.ssh/authorized_keys # Will fail without privilege

    sudo !!

    To use the argument of the previous command. For example:

    tac ~/.ssh/authorized_keys # oops, misspelled cat

    cat !$

      Not sure if you’re aware that tac is not a typo but reverse cat, as in, it works like cat but prints the last line first. I use this semi-regularly

      sl, now, that’s a typo. Nobody wants a free choo choo
