Shell Control & Escape Sequences for the Wilderness
Again, as a reminder for myself I am posting a table of shell control & escape sequences to navigate and use a misconfigured, non-configured shell or just for bragging purposes.
For sure this table is not comprehensive. Please drop a comment if there is a sequence, which needs to be added and will gladly add a line!
| Sequence | Description |
|---|---|
| Ctrl-A | Beginning of line |
| Ctrl-E | End of line |
| Ctrl-U | Clear line |
| Ctrl-K | Clear line from cursor |
| Ctrl-W | Delete last word |
| Esc-D | Delete next word |
| Ctrl-R | Incremental history back search |
| Ctrl-G | Cancel history search |
Best,
