Abbreviations

Abbreviations expand when you press Space or Enter. They are terminal-aware: some expand differently in Kitty vs WezTerm vs other terminals.

4.1 Editors

n / nv / neovim nvim e edit se sudoedit k kate editt Open new tab with nvim (terminal-aware) cdnv cd ~/.config/nvim cdnvn cd ~/.config/nvim; nvim

l ls lS lss (sort by size) lsR lsr (sort by time, oldest first) lX lx (sort by extension) lT lt (tree, depth 2) lsT lstree (full recursive tree) lzd ld (lazydocker) cdi zi (interactive zoxide picker)

4.3 Git

g git lg lazygit gitig / git-ignore gi (generate .gitignore)

4.4 Terminal Windows, Tabs, and Panes

These abbreviations control the terminal emulator. Each has a Kitty variant and a WezTerm variant; the correct one is inserted based on $TERM or $TERM_PROGRAM.

:w New OS window :wv Split pane horizontally (new pane below) :wh Split pane vertically (new pane to the right) :wo Detach current window to its own OS window :wot Move current pane to a new tab :t New tab :tl Set tab title :tw Set window title :twk Rename workspace (WezTerm only) :tp Focus previous tab :tn Focus next tab :q Close current pane/window :Q Close current tab :sw spwin (spawn new OS window)

Quick-navigate shortcuts open windows/tabs/panes with preset working dirs:

:tgk New tab at ~/.config/kitty :tgn New tab at ~/.config/nvim :tgf New tab at ~/.config/fish :tgh New tab at ~ :tgcz New tab at chezmoi source dir :tgcm New tab at chezmoi source dir :tgp New tab at ~/projects :tgr New tab at / (root)

Prefixes :wg* and :wvg* / :whg* open OS windows or splits to the same set of dirs, respectively.

Prefixes :cd* open tabs with a quick cd shortcut:

:cdn cd ~/.config/nvim :cdf cd ~/.config/fish :cdh cd ~ :cdcz cd to chezmoi source :cdp cd ~/projects

Appending n to any :cd* abbreviation also runs nvim after changing dir.

4.5 Chezmoi

cm / cme / cmi / cmap / cmad / cmrm / cmcd / cz / cze / czi / czap / czad / czrm / czcd

cm / cz chezmoi cmcd / czcd chezmoi cd cme / cze chezmoi edit cmad / czad chezmoi add cmap / czap chezmoi apply cmrm / cmf / czrm / czf chezmoi forget cmi / czi chezmoi init

4.6 Docker

dcl docker context use default dcls docker context ls lzd ld (lazydocker)

4.7 Systemctl

sc systemctl ssc sudo systemctl scu systemctl –user st systemctl status scs sudo systemctl start scr sudo systemctl restart ssct sudo systemctl start sscs sudo systemctl stop sscr sudo systemctl restart

4.8 AI Assistants

ag agy ag. agy . v antigravity-ide s wezterm ssh (WezTerm only)

4.9 History Expansion

These are implemented as keybinding helpers, but can also be typed:

!^ Expand to first argument of previous command !* Expand to all arguments of previous command typo_sub Interactive typo substitution (Ctrl+F) bang_string !string expansion bang_search !?string search bang_minus_n !-n (nth-previous command)

4.10 Miscellaneous

/exit exit :q Close pane (alias for terminal close) :Q Close tab sudu sudo -s kt kitty (Kitty only) c cat speedtest-fast fast-cli bl bd list bs bd sync bC bd create –title bsh bd show lb lazybeads

4.11 Shell Aliases

These aliases are defined in conf.d/tricks.fish via alias (which creates Fish functions). They are active in all interactive sessions.

.. cd .. … cd ../.. …. cd ../../.. ….. cd ../../../.. …… cd ../../../../..

Color Overrides

Force color output for common tools:

grep grep –color=auto fgrep fgrep –color=auto egrep egrep –color=auto dir dir –color=auto vdir vdir –color=auto

Safety Wrappers

Add -i (interactive confirmation) to destructive commands:

cp      cp -i
mv      mv -i

Archives and Networking

tarnow tar -acf Create compressed archive (auto-detects format) untar tar -zxvf Extract a gzip-compressed archive wget wget -c Resume interrupted downloads by default tb nc termbin.com 9999 Pipe content to termbin.com for quick sharing
