Thank you Aydarsh
I found very useful your set of tricks and tips and he has helped me a lot to define my own set and to figure it out the way I faced the exam.
I am sharing some of my thoughts on them.
First of all, I prefer to deal with a limited set of alias, easy to remember and that saves a lot of time. I also look for the very basic configuration of my editor (line number, tabs as spaces, etc). Choose the ones you think would help and practice with them all the time. I am listing below the ones that were useful for me.
{
echo "set tabsize 2" | tee -a ~/.nanorc
echo "set tabstospaces" | tee -a ~/.nanorc
echo "set linenumbers" | tee -a ~/.nanorc
alias k=kubectl
alias kn='k config set-context --current --namespace'
alias kcc='k config get-contexts'
alias kd='k --force --grace-period=0 delete po'
alias ka='k get all'
alias kaa='k get all -A'
alias kcf='k create -f'
. <(kubectl completion bash)
complete -F __start_kubectl k
export do='-o yaml --dry-run=client'
export KUBE_EDITOR=nano
}
When time is an important variable to consider, and you are like me --not a born in the terminal guy-- Nano is your editor, here the most recommended shortcuts to practice with.
Remember you can always use F1/^G
Useful Keyboard Shortcuts

M-A (^6) | Mark text starting from the cursor position |

^R (Ins) | Insert another file into current buffer (or into new buffer) |
I will just add to the connectivity commands recommended by aydarsh, the ones I think should help to create test pod on-demand or connect quickly to running containers
wget -O- http://10.44.0.1:80
curl http://10.44.0.1 80
nc -vz 10.44.0.1 80
k exec -it pod -- [command]
k run bash -it --image=bash --rm -- [command]
