When I was first starting out in software engineering, it felt like there was a never-ending barrage of tooling to learn. After more than a decade in CLI environments, I still find myself constantly learning new features and fun facts - but it’s fairly rare that I learn something new that I end up using day-to-day. I wanted to share some things I learned at relatively late stages in the game that ended up being significant productivity boosters for me - perhaps some of them are well-known, but in the spirit of this XCKD, I hope that someone reading this might pick up something new.

    ctrl-b: move cursor back one character

    ctrl-f: move cursor foward one character

    ctrl-d: delete character under cursor

      But that’s more key presses than just using existing keys

        I find it easier using my pinky to hit ctrl than taking my fingers off the home row to use the arrow keys.
