These shortcuts aren’t provided by the terminal or the shell but the readline library (or zle if you use zsh), which can be configured using the ~/.inputrc file.

Some of these are provided by the readline library (ctrl-a/e/k/y etc), others are provided by the shell (ctrl-c, ctrl-z, etc), and others are the terminal emulator (ctrl-shift-c/v/n/t, etc).

They missed my personal favourite:

SHIFT + INSERT … paste the content of the PRIMARY select buffer (currently selected text).

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Rules

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
  • No misinformation
