  • That’s good to know. It’s interesting that the other commenter thinks emacs shortcuts are illogical. I’ll make my best guesses at the logic

    • ctrl-a/ctrl-e for start/end of line

    a is the beginning of the alphabet; e for end (of line)

    • ctrl-u to clear the command you’ve typed so far but store it into a temporary pastebuffer
    • ctrl-y to paste the ctrl-u’d command

    No idea here. Seems similar to nano with k-“cut” and u-”uncut”.

    • ctrl-w to delete by word

    w for word obviously.

    • ctrl-r to search your command history
    • alt-b/alt-f to move cursor back/forwards by word

    r reverse, b back, f forward. Not sure why alt vs control though; presumably ctrl+b and ctrl+f do different things although I know emacs likes to use Alt (“Meta”) a lot.
