I read every comment and I’m pretty sure I’ve got something most of you don’t know. control and left or right will move by one word at a time in text. if you hold shift with this, you can highlight.
I find this is incredibly useful after I use Alt d or Control-L. in most browsers including most file browsers, this will take you to your address bar. then you can chop up your URL.
I did see somebody mention shift insert. I don’t know if they mentioned shift delete which cuts.
Long IT nerd here, I’ve known about those shortcuts for a long time.
Its interesting as I left the IT industry about 12 years ago and work in an unrelated field. Half the time I talk to our tech support guys, I know more than them. My fellow colleaugues think I’m like Merlin the magician.

Even better:
Win + Space (Win or Super + Space in Linux also) changes keyboard languages. I’m not seeing that anywhere in here either.
I hate tripping that one. I actively remove my “alternate” keyboards so I never trip it. on windows, one of my emacs binds trips it. so frustrating.
I had to write an essay in an exam setting once and all the keyboard controls like that were disabled. Worst 20 minutes ever
I would be so frustrated I might try to smoke a cigarette in the test
