I've been using terminal for +15 years, and I just learned what this is. Because you highlighted it being crazy that someone didn't know what it was, I looked it up.

Neat! Thanks for teaching me something today. This will be helpful, especially after I spent all morning messing with crontabs and logs and permissions and PATH env's.

Edit: Having read more about this now, I'm realizing that I do use a couple of these out of habit. I just didn't know they were called "readline commands". I thought they were just "how to use the terminal". But there's dozens and dozens of other commands I never knew were possible. Brilliant. Happy Monday.
