That's a nice list of aliases - personally, I could only ever seem to
handle about 12 aliases in my brain at once so your list looks pretty familiar.
For other commands to add, I'd include:
ip tcp synwait-time 5
(failed telnet attempts time out in 5 seconds)
line con 0
logging synchronous
(when a console message overwrites your command line, this commands
causes your line to be automatically redrawn)
And I also put "login" and "password cisco" under each con, aux, and vty
interface.
