@hotdogsladies Ah, the 'transpose' function. Also available in vi by typing "xp" (cut-paste-one-character).

@hotdogsladies these are EMACS keybindings - years ago, NEXTSTEP (which must have had a bunch of UNIX nerds in their UI team) implemented common emacs keybindings in the NS text system defaults. Ctrl-t is transpose letters, and Meta-t would be transpose words (might be bound to option t on OS X, no idea)
More awesomely, this used to be _fully_ customisable by dropping plists into `~/Library/KeyBindings/` - you can just add keysequences and map them onto objective C selectors that the text API responds to - https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/EventOverview/TextDefaultsBindings/TextDefaultsBindings.html
I doubt if this still works, and I've not used a Mac seriously for about ten years at this point. -

@sgharms @hotdogsladies I posit that a hard core emacsism would not leave 8 fingers and all 10 toes unutilized.

@masto @hotdogsladies after the RSI damage from years of use you’ll be lucky to have 2 usable fingers.

@hotdogsladies One of my favorite keyboard shortcuts! very useful when accidentally transposing characters when typing commands into terminal.

@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).
