Clearing the screen followed by ls happens surprisingly often, if not just to start things in "clean slate". I'm quite fond of it.
I use bash, but I like the zsh feature where you could type "cd -n" and go back n entires in your "directory stack", so I made my own version as a function. It's probably subtly broken in some way, since it's bash, but it works relatively well for me: cd() { # Set the current directory to the 0th history item cd_history[0]=$PWD if [[ $1 == -h ]]; then for i in ${!cd_history[@]}; do echo $i: "${cd_history[$i]}" done r…
cd() { if [[ -n "$2" && "$1" != "--" ]]; then builtin cd "${PWD/"$1"/"$2"}"; else builtin cd "$@"; fi; };

Can I add something from .vimrc? If you put the commands: set undofile set undodir=~/.vim/undodir You get infinite undo in your files. Now when you go into a file, delete or add some text and close your terminal down, the next time you enter vim you can (re|un)do previous operations. Has saved my ass more times than I care to mention over my career!
Not strictly an alias, but autojump has been a huge productivity booster for me. Installing it sets up an alias of `j` which guesses the best directory to cd to based on your cd history. So instead of having to type `cd ~/Projects/someproject` you could just type `j some` and it'll end up there. https://github.com/wting/autojump
+1. Very useful extension

Speaking of, what's this vi thing people keep mentioning? :>
