Essential BASH Keyboard Shortcuts
There are many keyboard shortcuts to learn in BASH (and Enterprise computing in general!). These are the essentials:
Command | Result |
---|---|
TAB | Will complete a partially-typed command. Options are listed if multiple available |
Up-Arrow | Shows the previously issued command (repeatable) |
Ctrl+e | Jumps to the end of the current command (line) |
Ctrl+a | Jumps to the beginning of the current command (line) |
Ctrl+c | Quits the current interactive process |
Ctrl+z | Pauses the currently running job |
fg | Restarts the paused job (this is a command, not a shortcut, but pairs well with Ctrl+z ) |
