Random "Trick"
Okay, this may be old news to some of you, but someone showed it to me and it changed my life...or at least seemed like a pretty cool tip. On Cisco devices, you can filter the "show run" output by entering a forward slash (/) at the more prompt and typing in the section you want to move to.
So...
Router# show run
Building configuration...
Current configuration : 12919 bytes

version 12.4

...blah blah other junk goes here
!
--More-- <---- enter the forward slash here followed by a word (such as interface) that you want to jump to.
This is essentially like doing the "show run | begin" syntax, but you can do it on the fly. Okay, maybe not life changing, but sure is handy on those massive config files.

If you ever used pine back in the day, this applied to the pico text editor which I am guilty of still using instead of VI/VIM. In case anyone else uses it.
