    In most Mac apps, `CTRL-T` swaps the characters on either side of the cursor location.

    I learned this on TextMate approximately one hundred years ago, and it's still so satisfyingly useful every time I remember it.

                          @sgharms @masto @hotdogsladies I first saw it in Emacs in 1977. Emacs was born (first called Emacs) in 1975, so it wasn't too old in '77.

                          The emacs version took numeric arguments: move the character to the left of the cursor right N positions and leave the cursor to its right so another ^T will move the same char further. Negative N undid it: move the char and cursor to the left abs(N) positions left.

                          Someone in this thread has already mentioned Meta-T (transpose words).

                            @hotdogsladies It was never about The Flintstones, that’s the beauty in it. Stop and look at life through someone else’s eyes for a half second. Consider other perspectives. The last thing this world needs is more people incapable of doing this.

                              @hotdogsladies I used this quote in a meeting and one young women nodded and smiled! She had heard it too. I felt so validated. (She’s a statistician and clearly wired in a similarly way.)
