Command Line Tip: Start of Line – End of Line
July 17th, 2010
If you like to work from the command line there are many keyboard shortcuts that can make your life easier. Two of my favourites are control+a and control+e. When you are have some text entered and you want to quickly get to the start or end of the entered text these little shortcuts will save you some key-presses.
ctrl + a: moves the cursor to the start of the line
ctrl + e: moves the cursor to the end of the line
Many of you will already know about these handy shortcuts but if you haven’t I think you’ll really appreciate them.
