I could (1) prepare a file with typed commands separated by end-line, (2) make it executable, (3) run it from a file-system manager or the terminal.

But this is ridiculous for not repeatable and every-time-other sets of commands.

Can I type those commands to the terminal in one request instead?

I don't know end-line character for the terminal - Ctrl, Shift or Alt with Enter doesn't work.

You can separate commands with && or ;.

&& only runs the next command if the previous one exited with status 0 (was successful) :
```
command1 && command2 && command3
```

; runs every commands, even if the previous one exits with a non zero status :
```
command1; command2; command3
```

You can combine these separators as you wish.
