The shell, used precisely, is a very powerful tooling for every Software Engineer. There are a lot of keyboard shortcuts which make it possible to navigate, modify and by this complete the current job in a much faster way. Here you can find a list of my favorite shortcuts.

As a software engineer, I am using the shell a lot. Besides the IDE, it is the most important tool. Since working in the shell can be complex sometimes, it is important to find the right tools which not only makes working in the shell a lot of fun but also boost your productivity.

Almost every time I show somebody something on my MacBook, the question „How did you do that?” or „What tool is that?” comes up. After all those years, I have decided to write a blog post about the tools I use and which have increased my productivity not only as a developer, but also in general on MacOS.
