An Apple Hotkey a day

logoon mac, 小技巧

Update daily? Well, it’s just a slogan.


Bash Hotkeys

  • control + A : move cursor to line start.
  • control + E : move cursor to line end.
  • control + U : clears the line content.
  • control + L : clears the screen content.
  • control + W : cut the word before cursor.
  • option + D : cut the word after cursor.
  • option + F : move the cursor *forward* one word.
  • option + B : move the cursor *backward* one word.

Note : In iTerm2, you have to set option work as ‘+Esc’ in ‘Preference → profile’ for moveing cursor, otherwise it will send the special characters.
