Chapter 6 Using the Command-Line Interface
Using Editing Features
Editing Command Lines That Wrap
You can use a wrap-around feature for commands that extend beyond a single line on the screen. When
the cursor reaches the right margin, the command line shifts ten spaces to the left. You cannot see the
first ten characters of the line, but you can scroll back and check the syntax at the beginning of the
command.
To scroll back to the beginning of the command entry, press
Ctrl-B
or the left arrow key repeatedly. You
can also press
Ctrl-A
to immediately move to the beginning of the line.
Note
The arrow keys function only on ANSI-compatible terminals such as VT100s.
Delete entries if you make a mistake
or change your mind.
Delete
or
Backspace
Erase the character to the left of the cursor.
Ctrl-D

Ctrl-K

command line.
Ctrl-U
or
Ctrl-X

the command line.

Esc D
Delete from the cursor to the end of the word.

Esc C

displays that are longer than the
terminal screen can display.
Note
The

prompt appears for

terminal screen, including
show

Return
and

bar keystrokes
