Moving around in the command line Part 1
I have been getting tired of hit arrow keys to moving around in my commands in bash and was looking for a better way of working. After some research I found some key command that can speed things up.
I will be breaking this up into different parts as I learn these and build muscle memory. See Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4.
These are the key motions to move around in the terminal:
- Move one character backwards
Ctrl
+b
- Move one character forwards
Ctrl
+f
- Move one word forwards
Alt
+f
- Move one word backwards
Alt
+b
- Move to the beginning of line
Ctrl
+a
- Move to the end of line
Ctrl
+e
Bye!
