As per the title. I have a Monsgeek M1 and the 4 keys which are default for home, page up, page down and end are up for reassigning for something more useful. Just want to get ideas but also start a discussion.

If holding a modification key counts, Ctrl+Backspace.

When typing, and I make a mistake, it's faster to delete the entire word and retype than it is to correct the individual mistakes.

This is a great one. I type a lot with my job, and it just feels way more efficient than clicking around trying to change a single letter in a word I fudged up.

I use Ctrl+backspace and Ctrl+left/right arrow all the time to jump around word by word. It's so handy when you get used to it.

For me it has to be the tilde (~) key because I have my terminal (ddterm) bound to that key. I probably press it a thousand times a day.

I know exactly what you mean, except my drug is called Yakuake. :-D
