tmux

Here's how i setup my terminal to have alacritty with tmux (it has a custom tmux configuration, bashrc and alacritty.yml):

#enter tmux:
tmux

#CTRL+b is the default tmux keybind to start any tmux action.
#to cancel it just press ESC

#WINDOWS
    #Create a new window:
    CTRL+b c

    #kill current window:
    CTRL+b &

    #Rename Window
    Ctrl+B ,

    #Goto window:
    CTRL+b 123456789

    #Browse the tmux sessions (windows and panes)
    CTRL+b W

#PANES (contained within windows) :
    #split vertically or horizontally  (this is creating panes basically):
    #CTRL+b " 
    #CTRL+b %

    #Change pane focus:
    CTRL+b Arrow

    #Cycle Panes:
    CTRL+B o

    #Cycle Move panes:
    CTRL+B CTRL+O

    #Move pane into new window:
    CTRL+B !

    #Resize Pane:
    CTRL+b CTRL+Arrow

    #close pane:
    CTRL+b x

    #display pane numbers:
    CTRL+b q

#COPY AND PASTE
CTRL+b [                (to enter copy mode, or PageUP to place the cursor farther up)
arrow keys              (to place the cursor where you need it (or PageUP/PageDN))
CTRL+Space              (and then move the cursor to select the lines you need)
CTRL+W                  (to copy your selection into the buffer)

CTRL+SHIFT+V            (to paste your selection)
SHIFT+insert            (to paste your selection)

CTRL+B [ 
    then CTRL+S (Search Pattern downward)
    then Enter
    then hit n to cycle through the results

CTRL+B [
    then CTRL+R (Search Pattern upward)
    then Enter
    then hit n to cycle through results

CTRL+B f (find window based on what's displayed in it)

Nano + Vim

Sometimes you just need to edit files from the commandline so you can use nano or vim:

Nano is nice for quick modifications on small files:

#To edit test.txt
nano test.txt 

#Save the edited file:
CTRL+S 

#to exit nano:
CTRL+W

#Find a word / pattern in the file:
CTRL+W 

#To find a pattern and replace it everytime:
CTRL+W
CTRL+R
(enter the pattern)                 then ENTER
(enter the string to replace with)  then ENTER
A                   (to replace every instance)
Y or N              (to replace/deny each individual instance)

However Vim is better for larger, more drastic changes on files where you need precision and efficiency:

vim test.txt
#for commands that start with : you need to press ENTER to validate them

#to modify the file, you need to enter the "insert mode"
i

#once you're done editing text, leave insert mode
ESC

#to save:
:w 

#to save and quit:
:wq 

#to quit and abort:
:qa! 

#to cut lines:
:d2         (deletes 2 lines)
:d10        (deletes 10 lines)

#to copy lines:
:2yy
:10yy

#To paste lines:
ppppp

#to replace patterns with a chosen string:
#This will search the entire file for the pattern and replace it everywhere!
:%s/pattern/my-chosen-string 


#to goto the first line with the chosen string
/my-chosen-string 

#swap current line with next one
ddp

#get help in vim:
:help 

#show the previous commands
:UPARROW
:DOWNARROW


#COPY : just use the tmux copypaste
#PASTE:
i                   (to enter insert mode)
CTRL+SHIFT+V        (to paste)
ESC                 (to exit insert mode)

Firefox

Web browsers are mouse-driven for many things, but a whole lot of actions can be done by keyboard:

#create a new tab:
CTRL+T 

#create a new private window:
CTRL+SHIFT+P

#previous/next tab:
CTRL+PGUP
CTRL+PGDN

#move the selected tab left/right
CTRL+SHIFT+PGUP
CTRL+SHIFT+PGDN

#Goto tab number:
ALT+0123456789

#Close tab and re-open it:
CTRL+W
CTRL+SHIFT+T

#GO TO HOME (this is the key that is used to go at the beginning of the line)
ALT+HOME

#previous/next page/link:
ALT+LEFTARROW
ALT+RIGHTARROW

#Zoom
CTRL++
CTRL+-

#Search Term
CTRL+F (then type pattern) (then press enter)
