If you change the colours to night mode, the song "Sister Christian" starts playing

not sure if it counts as a command, but i use the up arrow to scroll through previous commands like, almost every time I open a terminal.

compgen -back to see all valid things you can type into a shell.

Zoxide, dust, fd, rg, btm, tokei. So many newer Rust tools that are way better than the old stuff.

Saving this thread for later, but I use rsync -a a lot.

Ctrl-r with https://github.com/atuinsh/atuin is amazing. Never forget a command you used ever again.

More of a shortcut, CTRL + A + D to exit the current session (exits a sudo su first, then a ssh, then the actual terminal)
