In development, We spend a lot of time on the command line. We type a lot of commands on regularly.
I have created a shortcut for the most of the commands which I use on a daily basis some of them are below:
WP CLI
| Command | Keyboard Shortcut/Aliases |
|---|---|
| wp theme list | wpthl |
| wp plugin list | wppll |
Check all the available WP CLI commands etc. (all WP CLI commands list)
Example 1. Using shortcut wpthl instead of wp theme list

I found the article Terminal/Bash Command-Line Shortcuts with Aliases written by @jonsuh to create keyboard shortcuts for the Terminal/Git Bash.
I have added some more commands of Grunt, WP CLI & PHPCS on my local environment.
