Linux Command Line Information
- Ctrl+U – clear all the current line from the end to the beginning only if the cursor is at the end of the line.
- Ctrl+Y recall the cleared line
- Ctrl+K – clear all the current line from the beginning to the end only if the cursor is at the beginning of the line.
- Ctrl+E Ctrl+U – move the cursor to the end of the line and clear all the current line from the end to the beginning.
- Ctrl+A move the cursor at the beginning of the line
- Ctrl+C – cancel the current command line, which implies clear all the current line no matter where the cursor is. Disadvantage: you can’t recall the cleared line anymore.

- Bash History Recall

- !? followed by a unique string appearing anywhere in the command. The unique string doesn’t have to be at the start of the command.
- ctrl-r. This will put you into history search mode. Must use before you begin typing your command.
- Just pressing Enter will immediately recall and execute the command.
- ctrl-j or Escape will retrieve the command, but allow you to continue editing.
- ctrl-g or ctrl-c cancels the current command.
- history | grep -i “<search string>” – get a list of all related commands with their history numbers.
