 Bash Shortcuts For Maximum Productivity
 September 15, 2009 By Alan Skorkin 74 Comments
 MaximumIt may or may not surprise you to know that the bash shell has a very rich array of convenient shortcuts that can make your life, working with the command line, a whole lot easier. This ability to edit the command line using shortcuts is provided by the GNU Readline library. This library is used by many other *nix application besides bash, so learning some of these shortcuts will not only allow you to zip around bash commands with absurd ease :), but can also make you more proficient in using a variety of other *nix applications that use Readline. I don’t want to get into Readline too deeply so I’ll just mention one more thing. By default Readline uses emacs key bindings, although it can be configured to use the vi editing mode, I however prefer to learn the default behavior of most applications (I find it makes my life easier not having to constantly customize stuff). If you’re familiar with emacs then many of these shortcuts will not be new to you, so these are mostly for the rest of us :).

 Command Editing Shortcuts

 Ctrl + a – go to the start of the command line
 Ctrl + e – go to the end of the command line
 Ctrl + k – delete from cursor to the end of the command line
 Ctrl + u – delete from cursor to the start of the command line
 Ctrl + w – delete from cursor to start of word (i.e. delete backwards one word)
 Ctrl + y – paste word or text that was cut using one of the deletion shortcuts (such as the one above) after the cursor
 Ctrl + xx – move between start of command line and current cursor position (and back again)
 Alt + b – move backward one word (or go to start of word the cursor is currently on)
 Alt + f – move forward one word (or go to end of word the cursor is currently on)
 Alt + d – delete to end of word starting at cursor (whole word if cursor is at the beginning of word)
 Alt + c – capitalize to end of word starting at cursor (whole word if cursor is at the beginning of word)
 Alt + u – make uppercase from cursor to end of word
 Alt + l – make lowercase from cursor to end of word
 Alt + t – swap current word with previous
 Ctrl + f – move forward one character
 Ctrl + b – move backward one character
 Ctrl + d – delete character under the cursor
 Ctrl + h – delete character before the cursor
 Ctrl + t – swap character under cursor with the previous one

 !$ – the last word of the previous command (same as Alt + .)
