By default, the shell uses an Emacs-like mode to edit lines, which you can change to a vi-like mode. The mode you choose largely depends on which editor you're most comfortable with. For example, when using the default Emacs-like mode, you can use a number of [Ctrl] or [Esc] key combinations to navigate and manipulate text when you're working on a lengthy command. Here's a list of some of your options: * Press [Ctrl]B to move backward one character. * Press [Ctrl]F to move forward one character. * Press [Esc]B to move one word backward. * Press [Esc]F to move one word forward. * Press [Ctrl]A to move to the first character in the line. * Press [Ctrl]E to move to the end of the line. * Press [Ctrl]U to delete the current line. * Press [Ctrl]K to delete from the cursor's current position to the end of the line. You can also use a command to search through your history. Press [Ctrl]R to perform a reverse search through your history for a given command. When you've located the command, press [Enter] to reexecute it, or edit the command to change it. If you frequently work from the command line, using these shortcuts can save you a lot of time. ------------------------------------------ White Papers from our partners Real World IT: Protect End Users from Spam (TechRepublic) http://ct.com.com/click?q=2c-DafOIc0gqUH41DG6XlAMBgwZjZOO Overview of Native XML Web Services for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (Microsoft) http://ct.com.com/click?q=4e-0Ye5InZ2acMh6amEnrZTnLG2J2Sl HP Manufacturing IT Consolidation (Hewlett-Packard) http://ct.com.com/click?q=5b-5L2wIBKgZUi2Y1Gu72GvDkWYzgQ4 IT Consolidation Success Story: BMO Nesbitt Burns (Hewlett-Packard) http://ct.com.com/click?q=96-pjrWQtdfdRb0DmPrBf8oSosSJL5M ------------------------------------------ HELP WANTED: COOL JOB OF THE WEEK: MAY THE WORKFORCE BE WITH YOU Surrounded by coworkers who scoff at the Stars Wars shrine in your office?
