 Unix Tip #4318- January  6, 2025
 
BASH HOTKEYS  
  
Bash provides many hot keys to ease use. Like  
ctrl-l  -- clear screen  
ctrl-r  -- does a search in the previously given commands so that you don't  
have to repeat long command.  
ctrl-u  -- clears the typing before the hotkey.  
ctrl-a  -- takes you to the begining of the command you are currently typing.  
ctrl-e  -- takes you to the end of the command you are currently typing in.  
esc-b   -- takes you back by one word while typing a command.  
ctrl-c  -- kills the current command or process.  
ctrl-d  -- kills the shell.  
ctrl-h  -- deletes one letter at a time from the command you are typing in.  
ctrl-z  -- puts the currently running process in background, the process  
can be brought back to run state by using fg command.  
esc-p  -- like ctrl-r lets you search through the previously given commands.  
esc-.  -- gives the last command you typed.
