The default shell on most Linux operating systems is called Bash. There are a couple of important hot keys that you should get familiar with if you plan to spend a lot of time at the command line. These shortcuts will save you a ton of time if you learn them…
| Ctrl+A | Go to the beginning of the line you are currently typing on |
| Ctrl+E | Go to the end of the line you are currently typing on |
| Ctrl+L | Clears the Screen, similar to the clear command |
| Ctrl+U | Clears the line before the cursor position. If you are at the end of the line, clears the entire line. |
| Ctrl+H | Same as backspace |
| Ctrl+R | Let’s you search through previously used commands |
| Ctrl+C | Kill whatever you are running |
| Ctrl+D | Exit the current shell |
| Ctrl+Z | Puts whatever you are running into a suspended background process. fg restores it. |
| Ctrl+W | Delete the word before the cursor |
| Ctrl+K | Clear the line after the cursor |
| Ctrl+T | Swap the last two characters before the cursor |
| Esc+T | Swap the last two words before the cursor |
| Alt+F | Move cursor forward one word on the current line |
| Alt+B | Move cursor backward one word on the current line |
| Tab | Auto-complete files and folder names |
Note that some of these commands may not work if you are accessing bash through a telnet/ssh session, or depending on how you have your keys mapped.
