| <h4 class="subsection">32.2.2 Readline Movement Commands</h4> |
| |
| |
| <p>The above table describes the most basic keystrokes that you need |
| in order to do editing of the input line. For your convenience, many |
| other commands have been added in addition to <kbd>C-b</kbd>, <kbd>C-f</kbd>, |
| <kbd>C-d</kbd>, and <tt class="key">DEL</tt>. Here are some commands for moving more rapidly |
| about the line. |
| </p> |
| <dl compact="compact"> |
| <dt><kbd>C-a</kbd></dt> |
| <dd><p>Move to the start of the line. |
| </p></dd> |
| <dt><kbd>C-e</kbd></dt> |
| <dd><p>Move to the end of the line. |
| </p></dd> |
| <dt><kbd>M-f</kbd></dt> |
| <dd><p>Move forward a word, where a word is composed of letters and digits. |
| </p></dd> |
| <dt><kbd>M-b</kbd></dt> |
| <dd><p>Move backward a word. |
| </p></dd> |
| <dt><kbd>C-l</kbd></dt> |
| <dd><p>Clear the screen, reprinting the current line at the top. |
| </p></dd> |
| </dl> |
| |
| <p>Notice how <kbd>C-f</kbd> moves forward a character, while <kbd>M-f</kbd> moves |
| forward a word. It is a loose convention that control keystrokes |
| operate on characters while meta keystrokes operate on words. |
| </p> |
