I have a bunch of little scripts and aliases I've written over the years, but none are used more than these...

alias ..='cd ..'

alias ...='cd ../..'

alias ....='cd ../../..'

alias .....='cd ../../../..'

alias ......='cd ../../../../..'

alias .......='cd ../../../../../..'

I need this *so* often that I programmed my shell to execute 'cd ..' every time I press KP/ i.e. '/' on the keypad, without having to hit Return.

Other single-key bindings I use often are:

KP* executes 'ls'

KP- executes 'cd -'

KP+ executes 'make -j `nproc`'

How? Readline macros?

Scripts I wrote that I use all the time
