Terminal Shortcuts

I’m trying to get faster at using my terminal.

I realize there are references for this sort of thing already—but this isn’t meant to be comprehensive. It’s meant to be a simplified and helpful layman’s guide. This is mainly for my own benefit, but as always, you’re welcome to follow along.

Clearing and navigation:

• Delete line up to beginning: Ctrl + U
• Delete complete line: Ctrl + A, Ctrl + K
• Cancel current command: Ctrl + C.
• Recall last deleted command: Ctrl + Y
• Go to beginning of line: Ctrl + A
• Go to end of line: Ctrl + E
• Remove words ahead: Ctrl + K
• Remove characters to left, until beginning of word: Ctrl + W
