Bash be nimble…

If you use terminal a lot you should know a few really useful keybindings (generally works with bash and zshell). Here’s what I use often:

  • Ctrl+L: Clear your terminal
  • Ctrl+K: Delete from cursor to end
  • Ctrl+K: Delete from start to cursor
  • Ctrl+E: Move to the end of line
  • Ctrl+A: Move to the end of line
  • Alt+F: Move a word forward
  • Alt+B: Move a word backward
  • Ctrl+R: Reverse history search
  • Ctrl+W: Delete backward a word

There’s quite a few more. So, you may wanna hunt around for more but these are just a few that I personally remember and use on a daily basis.
