I guess that's my goto.
Old habits die hard. It's just muscle memory at this point.
{cd Pr<tab><enter>cd c<tab><enter>}
Takes me to my current project folder, and there I can use gcc or vim or whatever I need to do. I thought about shortening it or setting my terminal to start in that directory but the ritual is important to me, it sets me in the right mood, for whatever reason.

Other times I'll hit enter a few times and then Ctrl+L to clear the screen.
Sort of feels like tapping my fingers on the desk.
I use a number of tools and I've often forgotten an individual command, or when I'm using tools like curl or docker that have a long single line command that I know I can't remember.
ctrl+r (reverse history search) + https://github.com/junegunn/fzf

ll and la are shorthand for ls -l and ls -la
I started to notice that the more I adopt in terminal specific commands to MacOS the hard is to be productive while I login to various systems.
I want also to force myself (but did not do it yet) to use a simpler Vim configuration. Maybe just line numbers so that when I login into a new system I should not need any plugin or any other shortcuts. Still I like my .vimrc file but I plan to do this in near future.
cmd-k works well for me since I don't think I've personally logged in directly to a non-Mac *nix-like system in 15+ years.
vim is different since it requires configuration on the same system.
