Oh I'm actually just learning unix/how to work properly in the Command line and building this personal source of knowledge up and am wondering if you'd be down to share/point me to places that are good resources (beyond, of course, the man pages)

also the tool discussed here is available via scoop for windows if we're trying it out

I've heard very good things about the Keychron keyboards[1], especially on a Mac (the design is almost Mac-first) - the K1[2] and K3[3] are both low-profile and should be as quiet as a mechanical keyboard gets with Red/brown switches and you can opt for optical switches too - also bluetooth so it's fairly portable. Although there's no firmware/software to remap keys so you'll need to do that on the OS side.

Companies like HAVIT[4] and Coolermaster[5] have made them too, but I haven't heard much about their stuff.

Well you'd have to download them, but

Mac: Dash (https://kapeli.com/dash)

Mac/Linux/Windows: Zeal (https://zealdocs.org/)

Windows: Velocity (https://velocity.silverlakesoftware.com/)

all support a healthy amount of documentation that you can download and most importantly a very healthy amount of integrations from Vim (https://github.com/KabbAmine/zeavim.vim) to VSCode (https://github.com/deerawan/vscode-dash) - note that on Windows all these apps write to the registry as "Zeal" so remember to uninstall the previous one if you're switching between them and using an integration.

If you just need a searchable docset that can be made available offline, there's also DevDocs (https://devdocs.io/) - just note that downloaded documentation can disappear if you regularly use the same browser for normal internet use - I'd do things like grab a copy of ungoogled chromium and just use it for this site before traveling if you're gonna be offline for a while (alternatively, there's some electron versions out there and you could package it that way for yourself too)

A nice chunk of unix tools get installed with git (if you select the option to) - you could just add it to your path and it saves on a fair chunk of that aliasing work

I think my biggest annoyance with powershell in particular is that curl is aliased into this awkward powershell function by default

On a similar vein, but also works for multitouch gestures on the trackpad and on touchscreens is GestureSign: https://gesturesign.win/#/
