bash keyboard shortcuts

• ctrl a start of line

• ctrl e end of line

• ctrl c cancel signal

• crtl d eof signal

• ctrl k kill (cut) to end of command

• ctrl y yank (paste)

• ctrl r search through bash history (that's a whole other thing)

• alt . last argument

• alt+# repeat next char n times

so alt+50 would repeat the next char 50 times

if you give it a negative argument (alt -) it does things backwards alt -1 then ctrl k cuts to the start of the line

there's some that work on a per word basis but i can't see it saving enough time to be worth remembering

Oh, here's a better way to show it
