I've found reduced keystrokes for common operations.

I use "sudo -i" instead of "sudo su -"

in vi, I use "ZZ" instead of ":wq!" to save and exit.

bonus: I save time typing repetitive things into the shell by making cut and paste capable stanzas in documentation like this:

  cat << EOF > newfilename
  ...
  EOF
