I think I've finally realized that a weird thing about the terminal is that a lot of things just are not actually documented in any reasonable way? Like if you want to know more about `Ctrl+C` and you use `zsh` for example, the only official documentation I can really find is `man termios` or man stty
realistically in practice I think most people do not read "official documentation" for stuff like this, it's easier to rely on friendly coworkers / blog posts / stack overflow
feels weird that if you want to know how to use "the terminal", even if you have an unlimited amount of time and energy, there really isn't documentation that you can reasonably read
like I guess you could read your shell's manual, your terminal emulator's docs, the xterm docs (because your terminal is probably "xterm compatible”), find the man pages (how?) for every popular command and read those, then `man termios` and `man stty` and the other conceptual man pages, but there's a lot more
@b0rk have you come across this? It's not 100% accurate according to a terminal guru friend, and focuses on the Linux TTY, but it's a start I guess
