A bit off-topic, but I'm somewhat surprised that this is news. Not because it's not awesome, but that so many people seem to have been unaware of this feature.

A bit off-topic, but I'm somewhat surprised that this is news. Not because it's not awesome, but that so many people seem to have been unaware of this feature. It makes me wonder how many things I know that I take for granted. How many simple things that I do, that I use, that others would find amazing.
Like CTRL-A in bash (I'd mentioned it in passing, and someone was excited to find out about it); ESC-. in bash as well to insert the last argument, incredibly handy for quickly injecting long paths. I did a talk on tmux at work, and it went over extremely well with those who attended, much beter then expected.
I guess the reason I think this way is I imagine I'm the dumbest person around, so I assume if I know something, everyone else must. And if I mention it, a part of me feels like I'll be exposing some weakness. It's stupid of me to think that way. It's a personal failing, I know. Even knowing it though won't change my way of thinking.
Sorry for hijacking.
