Shortcut Keys on Linux
Guys!!
I have found some useful shortcut keys for Linux!
# / – root directory
# ./ – current directory
# ./command_name – run a command in the current directory when the current directory is not on the path
# ../ – parent directory
# ~ – home directory
# $ – typical prompt when logged in as ordinary user
# # – typical prompt when logged in as root or superuser
# ! – repeat specified command
# !! – repeat previous command
# ^^ – repeat previous command with substitution
# & – run a program in background mode
# [Tab][Tab] – prints a list of all available commands. This is just an example of autocomplete with no restriction on the first letter.
# x[Tab][Tab] – prints a list of all available completions for a command, where the beginning is “x”
# [Alt][Ctrl][F1] – switch to the first virtual text console
# [Alt][Ctrl][Fn] – switch to the nth virtual text console. Typically, there are six on a Linux PC system.
# [Alt][Ctrl][F7] – switch to the first GUI console, if there is one running. If the graphical console freezes, one can switch to a nongraphical console, kill the process that is giving problems, and switch back to the graphical console using this shortcut.
# [ArrowUp] – scroll through the command history (in bash)
# [Shift][PageUp] – scroll terminal output up. This also works at the login prompt, so you can scroll through your boot messages.
# [Shift][PageDown] – scroll terminal output down
# [Ctrl][Alt][ ] – switch to next X server resolution (if the server is set up for more than one resolution)
# [Ctrl][Alt][-] – change to previous X server resolution
# [Ctrl][Alt][BkSpc] – kill the current X server. Used when normal exit is not possible.
# [Ctrl][Alt][Del] – shut down the system and reboot
# [Ctrl]c – kill the current process
# [Ctrl]d – logout from the current terminal
# [Ctrl]s – stop transfer to current terminal
# [Ctrl]q – resume transfer to current terminal. This should be tried if the terminal stops responding.
# [Ctrl]z – send current process to the background
# reset – restore a terminal to its default settings
# [Leftmousebutton] – Hold down left mouse button and drag to highlight text. Releasing the button copies the region to the text buffer under X and (if gpm is installed) in console mode.
# [Middlemousebutton] – Copies text from the text buffer and inserts it at the cursor location. With a two-button mouse, click on both buttons simultaneously. It is necessary for three-button emulation to be enabled, either under gpm or in XF86Config.
Enjoy…
