Another really useful command is the open $ open filename.png $ open . $ open -e filename.txt $ open -a Pixen filename.png The first command will open the file with the default application.

By default is Emacs, so you can C-a (control-a) for beginning of line, C-p to go back in command line history, or C-r to search it. I prefer the Vi mode, though. Add to your .bashrc set -o vi Then you can press escape to go from input mode to normal mode; there k will take you to the previous line in command line history, j to the next li…
A new one for me I accidentally found the other day.. If you use Spotlight to find something and then want to see the file in Finder, Cmd+click the item in the Spotlight dropdown. Edited from Cmd+shift+click due to note in child comment :-)
