This blog post is to help me remember shell shortcut commands. The post will be edited as I remember or find new shortcuts that are useful to me.
| Command | Action |
| CTRL A | Jump to beginning of line |
| CTRL E | Jump to end of line |
| CTRL F | Move cursor forward one character |
| CTRL B | Move cursor backwards one character |
| ALT B | Jump back one word |
| ALT F | Jump forward one word |
Apple Mac Terminal Users
If you are SSHing into a Linux instance from an Apple Mac you may have issues with commands that use ALT, as the Option key on the Mac keyboard doesn’t seem to default to ALT in remote terminals, or at least didn’t for me. The solution for this: Terminal > Settings > Profiles > Keyboard > enable “Use Option as Meta key”.
