Typing Shortcuts That Feel Like Superpowers

You already do the hard part: thinking. Shortcuts remove the tiny frictions that chip away at your focus. Learn a handful, and your day gets quieter, faster, and kinder to your hands.

Universal Text Shortcuts

• Cmd + C copy, Cmd + V paste, Cmd + X cut
• Cmd + Z undo, Shift + Cmd + Z redo
• Alt + arrow keys to move by word; Shift + selection
• Cmd + Left/Right to jump to line start/end

Editor Moves That Save Hours

• Multi-cursor editing to update repeated text in one sweep
• Quick open files by name instead of browsing menus
• Command palette for any action without leaving the keyboard

Make It Stick

Pick three shortcuts. Use them for a week. Then add two more. The goal is ease, not memorization. With time, your hands will move before you think, and the work will feel lighter.
