How do you "copy all"?
I agree that ggVG is fine but not with the custom leader to copy to clipboard part. If you're gonna have to remember something might as well use a text object instead, that way you get the full range of actions and not just the hardcoded mapping. I use kana/vim-textobj-entire that provides e for entire buffer, so copying would be yie and life is smooth. There's a bunch of text object plugins, just get one or write it yourself would be my advice.
- Installing argtextobj.vim

Need some help with keybindings.
I like the entire document text object: https://github.com/kana/vim-textobj-entire

Select all and move cursor back
You should make your life easier and get the entire text object plugin. This is the easiest way to act one the entire buffer with no surprises, although it still does change the cusror position sometimes, but I still recommend it.

What are your favorite "compound" motions?
I now use entire text object for this with vie, which is more mentally coherent, for me, than ggVG.

Had my 7 year old doing spelling words on VIM. Since she has not done much text editing it was effortless to get her thinking in "modes."

How can I return to the last cursor position after using formatprg and gggqG?
I would suggest adding the text object "entire", either by making your own omap, or using a plugin like vim-textobj-entire.

What Vim Motions Do I Need For This?
I think my single most-used plugin is ReplaceWithRegister. Using that, your 4th step would be gri" (go replace inside quotes).

What is the coolest, unknown(-ish) plugin that you're using that other people could benefit from?
2 essential plugins for me that I don’t see talked about much anymore are vim-scripts/ReplaceWithRegister and vim-scripts/ReplaceWithSameIndentRegister. The vanilla way to do this is not super difficult, delete into the black hole register, then paste. Or visually select, then paste. And afterwards clean up the formatting if necessary. But I do this hundreds of times a day, the convenience of having a dedicated command for it is massive.

It sounds like you would enjoy this plugin: https://github.com/vim-scripts/ReplaceWithRegister.

Favorite unfamous vim/neovim plugin?
One that I use literally 50 times a day is (Replace with register)[https://github.com/vim-scripts/ReplaceWithRegister]. It lets you replace the motioned content with your register, so griw would replace the current word object with the register. Absolutely lost with out it.
