<CTRL>-a |
Jumps to the beginning of the line |
<CTRL>-e |
Jumps to the end of the line |
<META>-b |
Jumps to the beginning of the previous word |
<META>-f |
Jumps to the beginning of the next word |
Line editing
<CTRL>-k |
Deletes the current line |
<CTRL>-h |
Deletes the previous character |
<META>-<CTRL>-h |
Deletes the previous word |
<CTRL>-t |
Reverses the previous two characters |
<META>-t |
Reverses the current and the previous word |
<META>-r |
Restores line from the history |
<CTRL>-_ |
Undoes last change |
Command history
<CTRL>-p |
Previous command |
<CTRL>-n |

<CTRL>-s |

<META>-< |

<META>-> |
Last command in the history |
Additional commands
<CTRL>-l |
Delete contents of window |
<META><number><command> |
