(thats alt or maybe windows key and > full-stop) I've put this: bind "\C-b":vi-bWord bind "\C-f":vi-fWord in my .bashrc to let me use ctrl-f/b to move forward and backwards words. It was recently pointed out to me though that you can actually do this with alt-f/b without any .bashrc modification at all. Also, this: alias screen='screen -e^\`\`' makes the 'screen key' ctrl-~, which means I don't go crazy every time I try to go to the start of a line with ctrl-a in a screen session. Keep this stuff coming. It makes my life easier!

[SLUG] diffstat, Ctrl-R, pushd/popd
The amount of power in the UNIX shell and related command lines tools is really quite amazing, however I find there are some things out there that I never know about until someone points them out to you. So I'm going to point out some tricks that have saved me heaps of time, but didn't really know until someone pointed them out to me: 1/ Ctrl-R history searching When using the shell you pretty quickly work out that pressing up will search backwards through you history, however it tooks me ages to find out that you could search backs through the history by typing Ctrl-R and a search string. 2/ popd/pushd If you find yourself traversing directores often pushd and popd are really useful. 3/ diffstat Provides a nice concise of a diff file.
