ctrl+w -- kill word backwards. Shame I "always" forget and use it in the browser, too, when writing... and it closes the current tab, dammit.

Cmd + C and Cmd + V as always.

Guess what? My sister just busted me for going overboard with the letter "C" on her keyboard! 🙈 I may have over-"C"-do'ed it a bit and now her keyboard is feeling the "C"raze. Oops! 😅🩄

ctrl + e
I'm using some browser extension and have ctrl + e set up to switch between recently used tabs. This saves me a lot of time at the end of the day.

PS There are also nice extensions to move the tabs around. Sometimes it's nice to put some related tabs together fast.
