shells and scripting Fish shell abbreviations is a godsend

Hi!

After my migration from Windows to Linux two or so months ago, I've been trying to learn how to use the terminal and be somewhat efficient and know about the basic functions like rm, mv, cp, ls, ln and such.
I've known about terminal aliases a while, but I found out about abbreviations on Fish yesterday and I absolutely love that feature.

Got any suggestions on other abbreviations/aliases I should use, or even other QoL features that I might not know about? Happy to learn!
