I've recently learnt about lifetraps and it's made a huge positive impact on how I view myself and my relationships

Control + Backspace deletes entire words rather than individual characters

Control + Arrows also moves your text cursor by whole words. Combine it with shift and you can easily select a bunch of text without the mouse.

Another one that took me far too long to learn: Shift + Tab will do the same thing as tab (next element) in reverse

CTRL + Shift + Home/End will select all to the start/end of a document. I use that one a lot
