    My bash terminal starts with my own shortcuts and

         ^a         ^e       \
      <-------   -------->    } Moving
        alt-b    alt-f       /
         <----   --->       /
           ^b    ^f        /
             <- ->z 
    
    $ cp monfi[c]hier dir/

         <----   --->
         ^w     alt-d       \
      <-------   -------->   } Erasing
         ^u         ^k      /
    
    precisely because combinatorial mindset and efficient navigation are so important to my workflow.
