I use a Linux app called “easystroke” (horrible name lol), and I have the terminal set to open with a mouse gesture (a “lesser than” symbol <) makes it super quick to open, and the “greater than” symbol > for close)
Another easy tip is that if you type a long command with something wrongmin it, and you get an error, instead of typing the whole,thing over again, use your “up arrow”,to select the previous command you typed, then use your left arrow to move the cursor to the right spot to correct the mistake (which is usually just a wrong letter, or symbol or somethjng)
Oh and 6ou can scroll through previously typed commands using the up and down arrows too, incase you have to run a command a few times- makes it much easier than all the typing.
Rather than scrolling, if you know a keyword in your command, do a Ctrl-R, and it will search for it as you start typing.
