Ctrl+R for fzf

Not sure if they are considered shortcuts, but I do use a few aliases to shorten long commands.

Nitpicking here. This is not Linux, this is bash.
My solaris boxes have the same.

Ctrl-r is even better BTW. History search in the command line so you can rerun or edit a command

Or just press the up arrow a million times.

Oh and command to run a quick benchmark:

I wrote one for simplifying a repetitive task:

No need to stick to bash. I'd rather keep it open to anything Linux related.

I am saying your shortcuts are bash, not linux. You can run a c shell on linux and none of your things will work, but then you deserve all the pain that comes your way.

the up arrow key or the the command history or using rsync -avz --info=progress2 <source> <destination>

OP probably meant a *nix cheat sheet.

Query, if that's ok?

How to keyboard-implant font characters in Ubuntu etc? Equiv. of Hold Alt + 4 digit code, release Alt found in Windows.

TIA

 

[Brian_G]

Managed to find it

...press Ctrl + Shift + U , then type the four-character code and press Space or Enter

I usually just use the character tool for the odd occasion that I need this.
It's likely that the specific shortcut that you found will differ from distribution to distribution.
