Nicely done! Feedback, since it's a draft: There's a lot of introductory verbiage at the beginning. I wonder if this could be condensed or put off in a sidebar.

On OS X, for some languages at least, if the user has installed additional keyboard input languages, then Command-space may be taken over for switching input language, and thus the instructions for opening a terminal with Spotlight would not work.

Looked through some of the explanations and things such as the walkthrough of Ctrl-C are very well done for true beginner level readers.

Thanks for the feedback. The reason for the verbiage is that this is the first of eight planned prerequisite tutorials [1], so Learn Enough™ Command Line to Be Dangerous is setting the stage for all the others as well. The introduction to each future tutorial will be focused exclusively on the content of that one document. I'll definitely look at putting some of the intro into a sidebar, though; that might work well.

Regarding Command-space, I've added a clarification regarding ways to start Spotlight. Thanks again for the helpful suggestions.

I too, agree with condensing the introductory paragraphs. Great work!

Thanks!

My cmd + space is actually somehow bound to both, so to search I do:

cmd + space ; esc ; cmd + space

Every once in a while I debate uncolliding them, but for some reason I get a mild kick out of occasionally unexpectedly seeing cyrillic dump out on the command line.

This is (or at least used to be) the default. I find it completely insane that Apple would ship with this. I know japan has special keyboards with buttons for changing language, but China and Hong Kong uses American layout and need to be able to switch.
