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.

    As a basic Linux user, I have a shell script to do all my updating, upgrading, removing of unneeded packages, etcetera. Under no circumstances is it all that advanced, just a string of simple enough apt and flatpak commands.

    I also recently figured out that god knows how long ago that I set an alias to run it that’s only 3 keyboard clicks instead of 5, saving basically less than a second. So not that useful, but still good to know… until I inevitably forget about it again.

        As someone who has only been using Linux for a few years ( >5 ), yeah I do.

        Definitely know what cron/cronning is, but I’ll definitely have to look up what yum-cronning is.

        Edit:

        I’m an idiot and correct in my thinking that yum was referring to the yum package management thing, which I don’t use on my system. Sounds cool, though. Might look into automating my setup, but it’s become such a routine for me to run the script I’m not sure if I could easily switch.
