Hey, until recently (about 6 months ago) I didn't even know about <Alt>+<.> either.
It's not until you start using this stuff on a daily basis that you start discovering these things.
Not everyone has been using Linux for long. Frankly, I consider myself pretty much a Linux noob. I'm a spoiled Windows brat, who only recently started transitioning to Linux (now Linux is the one spoiling me, but that's besides the point).
This is the primary reason why I come to HN anyway. To learn. :-)
