A lot of these can be easily done in Bash, too! 1. `mkcdir () { mkdir -- "$1" && cd -- "$1"; }` 2a. `bind '"\e[A":history-search-backward'; bind '"\e[B":history-search-forward'` 2b. Default behavior for Bash. 3. `shopt -s autocd` 4. `mmv`, `perl-rename` 5. `qalc` from libqalculate: https://github.com/Qalculate/libqalculate 8. Default behavior for Bash. 9. Default behavior for Bash.

https://github.com/natethinks/jog/ I'm not sure why this isn't a part of zsh already, but if you want to see the last few commands you ran in the current directory, that little utility will do that for you. Great for reminding yourself what you did last time you were in a directory.

    grep -a "${PWD}   " ~/.zsh_history_ext | cat | cut -f1 -d"|" | tail

None of these blew my mind. If you like terminal productivity I recommend: fzf, Facebook path picker (aka fpp), fd, ripgrep, lf, tig. Some honorable mentions: tokei, hyperfine, lazydocker, ctop, ncspot.
