Personally mine was just getting around buffers; creating new ones, splitting windows, deleting the ones I don’t need and so on. In the beginning I used to have just a single file open at a time like nano

Keyboard macros.

keyboard macros are so good, and using consult to go through old ones is great UX.

I can never remember the kmacro ring commands so I used to just redo everything.

Oh, I agree. I just never remember to use them until I'm done and realize I could have used a macro.
