macOS Shortcuts Collection
- 6 minsAs developers live on keyboards 24/7, we should be aware of any kinds of shortcuts that will benefit productivities.
Between Win and OSX, I arguably think OSX has a better combination of shortcuts, with powerful key mapping tools, it is better than ever.
Read advanced-keymapping, and take keymapping to the next level.

My co-worker Jeff told me the following shortcuts, they work similarly as arrow keys when editing, but not the same when not editing. I only use them in Shell and Vim because I treat them as replacement of my ctrl + hjkl keybinding since I intentionally disabled them in iTerm for better Vim experience. Part of the reason that they are working is that arguably macOS took some concepts from Unix, so these shortcuts were inherited.
ctrl + a: go to beginning of the line when editing.
ctrl + e: go to end of the line when editing.
ctrl + n: go up when editing, i.e. selecting in intellisense.
ctrl + p: go down when editing, i.e. selecting in intellisense.
