So I use similar shortcuts and like them. There's nothing wrong with creating shortcuts for almost everything. Some shortcuts I remember better than others; the ones I don't remember I just type out in full, and eventually I either get inspired to remember the shortcut or the shortcut evolves out of my config file.
I use the trick of aliasing "git" to "g", which I learned from Howard Yeh:
Not nearly as often as I type actual code or need to think about something. Plus in normal usage it's "g<up arrow>" since I have shell history searching.
