| <h4 class="subsection">32.2.3 Readline Killing Commands</h4> |
| |
| <a name="index-killing-text"></a> |
| <a name="index-yanking-text"></a> |
| |
| <p><em>Killing</em> text means to delete the text from the line, but to save |
| it away for later use, usually by <em>yanking</em> (re-inserting) |
| it back into the line. |
| (‘Cut’ and ‘paste’ are more recent jargon for ‘kill’ and ‘yank’.) |
| </p> |
| <p>If the description for a command says that it ‘kills’ text, then you can |
| be sure that you can get the text back in a different (or the same) |
| place later. |
| </p> |
| <p>When you use a kill command, the text is saved in a <em>kill-ring</em>. |
| Any number of consecutive kills save all of the killed text together, so |
| that when you yank it back, you get it all. The kill |
| ring is not line specific; the text that you killed on a previously |
| typed line is available to be yanked back later, when you are typing |
| another line. |
| <a name="index-kill-ring"></a> |
| </p> |
| <p>Here is the list of commands for killing text. |
| </p> |
| <dl compact="compact"> |
| <dt><kbd>C-k</kbd></dt> |
| <dd><p>Kill the text from the current cursor position to the end of the line. |
| </p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt><kbd>M-d</kbd></dt> |
| <dd><p>Kill from the cursor to the end of the current word, or, if between |
| words, to the end of the next word. |
| Word boundaries are the same as those used by <kbd>M-f</kbd>. |
| </p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt><kbd>M-<span class="key">DEL</span></kbd></dt> |
| <dd><p>Kill from the cursor the start of the current word, or, if between |
| words, to the start of the previous word. |
| Word boundaries are the same as those used by <kbd>M-b</kbd>. |
| </p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt><kbd>C-w</kbd></dt> |
| <dd><p>Kill from the cursor to the previous whitespace. This is different than |
| <kbd>M-<span class="key">DEL</span></kbd> because the word boundaries differ. |
| </p> |
| </dd> |
| </dl> |
| |
| <p>Here is how to <em>yank</em> the text back into the line. Yanking |
| means to copy the most-recently-killed text from the kill buffer. |
| </p> |
| <dl compact="compact"> |
| <dt><kbd>C-y</kbd></dt> |
| <dd><p>Yank the most recently killed text back into the buffer at the cursor. |
| </p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt><kbd>M-y</kbd></dt> |
| <dd><p>Rotate the kill-ring, and yank the new top. You can only do this if |
| the prior command is <kbd>C-y</kbd> or <kbd>M-y</kbd>. |
| </p></dd> |
| </dl> |
