I also find creating my own little shortcuts to be super satisfying and of course very transferable since they work out of the box.

```some examples " Quick access to commonly edited config files (and a directory for my Shell scripts!) map <leader>v :e ~/.vimrc<cr> map <leader>V :source ~/.vimrc<cr> map <leader>w :e ~/Workspace/myCo/tmuxp-session.yaml<cr> map <leader>W :e ~/.tmux.conf<cr> map <leader>z :e ~/Shell<cr>

" Super simple in editor note setup, amazing map <leader>x :vs<cr>:e ~/Documents/notepad.txt<cr> map <leader>X :vs<cr>:e ~/Documents/notes<cr>

" Quick terminal pane map <leader>t :vs<cr><c-w>l:term<cr><c-w>j:q<cr> " Pull file path into clipboard nmap <leader>b :let @+ = expand("%")<cr> " Pull current line into clipboard nmap <leader>B "*yy ```

Quick disposable terminals, tons of short cuts to get me into the config files that make it all happen (vimrc, zshrc, tmux.conf, a tmuxp session file) and to reload them, and super quick access to a well organized directory of notes are all huge boons during my workday.
