regarding the l. alias, I would like to know which advantages your version with egrep has compared to mine? thanks for your videos

This is quite belated, but here are some of my favorite aliases (and a few functions):
# Launch TMUX with 1 pane on top & bottom & focus on the bottom one
alias tmv='tmux new-session \; split-window -v \; rename-window -Unnamed- \; attach'
alias rcp='rsync -azP '
alias q='exit'
alias sai='sudo apt install '
alias sau='sudo apt update '
alias aptuu='sudo apt update && apt list --upgradable && sudo apt upgrade'
alias editzsh='vim -/.zshrc'
alias reloadzsh='exec zsh'
alias editaliases='vim -/.zsh_aliases'
alias reloadaliases='source -/.zsh_aliases'
alias edithistory='vim -/.zsh_history'
alias nolog='setopt HIST_IGNORE_SPACE'
alias ccat=-highlight --out-format=ansi-
# ripgrep - far superior to grep and ag
alias rgi='rg -i'
# -Search Flag- - search command x's man page for switch y
# Example: 'sf x y'
function sf -
-mycmd=-LESS='+/-$2' man $1-
--# echo -command: $mycmd-
--eval $mycmd

Could you do a related how to ... list the most frequently used apps and shell commands. When I reviewed and updated keybindings and aliases I really wanted an objective, reliable list of what I should prioritise. Problems I faced were: (1) for freq apps, found a few packages that will monitor it but they're either out if date or seem heavy resource users (2) for freq shell commands I messed with my shell history (set to 10,000) but I use several shells (tmux and terminator, xfce-terminal, zsh, xrvt) and the thought of wrangling all those made me have a nap instead. BTW little bit in love with DT, in the UK but ... DT for Whitehouse!

Actually those are in my /etc/bash.bashrc so that I can use them with several accounts (or as root after a sudo -i) :
alias grep='grep --color=auto'
alias ls='ls --color=auto'
alias ll='ls -AlFh --group-directories-first'
alias cp='cp -i'
alias rm='rm -I'
alias mv='mv -i'
alias fname='find . -name'
alias grepr='grep -Ri'
alias ping='ping -4'
alias j='journalctl'
alias jb='j -b'
alias jf='j -fn 500'
alias s='systemctl'
alias etc='etckeeper'
alias pac-clean='pacman -Rns $(pacman -Qtdq)'
In my usual user .bashrc, I just have :
alias sudo='sudo '

i did the cd alias different, here is my suggestion:
function cd_up () - cd $(printf -%0.s../- $(seq 1 $')); -
alias 'cd..'='cd_up'
This allows me to do cd..X, where X is the number of dirs I want to go up.
Also, i to all my arch users friends, you must remember to deal with all .pacnew and .pacsave files, so I did:
alias 'sudo pacman -Syu'='sudo pacman -Syu && pacdiff'
alias 'yay' = 'yay && pacdiff'
Where pacdiff will show you what needs to be fixed before you reboot your machine and find out that you broke something :)

Reflector is actually very useful. Just last week my system was giving me errors that is couldn't find a mirror. Sometimes mirrors go down. I was updating many packages and I didn't want to look at and wait for all those errors for every package. Just yesterday I was installing some packages and the download speeds were really slow. By stopping my install and quickly running reflector I updated to the fastest most recent updated mirrors in my country and then restarted my installation. If I had not it would have taken 3 times as long.

By far the most used, to find the files you manipulated the latest: alias lt 'ls -all -rt'
Quick hint to find repeated or oversize files: alias lt 'ls -all -rt'
Vimdiff without accidentally writing the files: alias lessdiff 'vimdiff -R -M'
I also remap -less- to a script that invokes Vim with some handy keymappings and read-only mode.
And restrict -locate- to my home by this script which I call -hloc- : locate -$-- - awk ' /-\/home/ -print $0-'
