These shortcuts aren't provided by the terminal or the shell but the readline library (or zle if you use zsh), which can be configured using the ~/.inputrc file.
Some of these are provided by the readline library (ctrl-a/e/k/y etc), others are provided by the shell (ctrl-c, ctrl-z, etc), and others are the terminal emulator (ctrl-shift-c/v/n/t, etc).
I have a small gripe with this article: CTRL+K, CTRL+U and CTRL+W don't "delete", they "cut", and the clipboard can be accessed with CTRL+Y, which the article also fails to mention.
Shortcuts for some different shells:
As you can see, most of them use shortcuts from Emacs and Vi
Or... VIM commands! set -o vi!!!!
They missed my personal favourite:
SHIFT + INSERT ... paste the content of the PRIMARY select buffer (currently selected text).
Middle click gang has beef
man bash
I wish they just put a biiiit more detail, like good job getting the word out please add some explanation.
Is there any mirror for this? I don't know if this has been posted to some other site as well, but the web site seems to be overloaded with traffic right now and I can't see the article.
Very useful. Thanks.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
