Anyone on a Unix system that uses readline (most) should be able to use these handy little dance moves.

  • Ctrl a          Moves the cursor to the start of the line
  • Ctrl e          Moves the cursor to the end of the line
  • Ctrl r           Context search of your history, hit ctrl r and start typing. Hit ctrl r again to scroll
  • Tab             Seriously, you don’t know about tab completion?  How do you dress yourself every day?

Lots more of that here, but those are my most frequent.
