#CLI shortcut keystrokes(linux&MAC)
Ctrl+L: Clear the screen. This is similar to running the “clear” command.
Ctrl+C: Interrupt (kill) the current foreground process running in in the terminal. This sends the SIGINT signal to the process
Ctrl+Z: Suspend the current foreground process running in bash. This sends the SIGTSTP signal to the process. To return the process to the foreground later, use the fg process_name command.
Ctrl+D: Close the bash shell.This is similar to running the exit command
Ctrl+L: Clear the screen. This is similar to running the “clear” command.

Ctrl+S: Stop all output to the screen. This is particularly useful when running commands with a lot of long, verbose output, but you don’t want to stop the command itself with Ctrl+C.
Ctrl+Q: Resume output to the screen after stopping it with Ctrl+S.

The ".hcl" file extension is used for HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL) files, which are used to define infrastructure as code using HashiCorp tools such as Vagrant and Packer.

In the context of Vagrant, the "pkr.hcl" file is used to define how Packer builds machine images that can be used as base boxes for Vagrant. The "pkr.hcl" file specifies the builders (e.g. virtualization providers like VirtualBox, VMware), provisioners (e.g. shell scripts, Ansible, Chef), and post-processors (e.g. compressing the image, uploading to a cloud provider) that Packer should use to create the machine image

The "pkr.hcl" file can also include variables, which allow for more dynamic and flexible configuration. These variables can be set via the command line, a separate variables file, or even environment variables.
