'Make git interactive rebase say "p" instead of "pick"?
This is a minor annoyance. When I do git rebase -i origin/master, it says "pick" and I have to press backspace 4 times to delete it and change it to something else (or learn a keyboard shortcut). Is there a way to make it just say "p"? I'm using a git alias for rebasing, so I can just add it there.

Since git 2.16 a few months after this question was asked, there's config option rebase.abbreviateCommands for this.
$ git config --global rebase.abbreviateCommands true
Solution 2:[2]
If you are already using an alias for the rebase, you could include this line:
sed -i -e '2,$ s/^pick/p/' .git/rebase-merge/git-rebase-todo
This command will change all lines that start with "pick" to "p" in the file that you modify during the interactive rebase.
This may require some playing around with/timing but could be a starting point for your desired functionality.
