Formerly of Apple, I currently write software to solve all manner of interesting problems. I work and live in Greenville, SC with my beautiful wife and two kids.
One secret that is so ubiquitous yet so simple that I often forget it's even there (until I have to use a Windows or Linux machine and mash the keyboard in frustration) is that in macOS every text input area (and I mean every one) responds to Readline key-combos. That is:
<cmd>+f - Move forward one space <cmd>+b - Move back one space <cmd>+a - Go to the start of a line <cmd>+e - Go to the end of a line <cmd>+p - Go to the previous line <cmd>+n - Go to the next line <cmd>+d - Delete <cmd>+h - Backspace <cmd>+t - Transpose the two characters before and after the cursor <cmd>+k - "Kill" text from the current cursor position to the end of the line
