Ctrl+S. Scroll lock.
Ctrl+Q. Release scroll lock.
Home or Ctrl+A. Move the cursor to the beginning of the current line.
End or Ctrl+E. Move the cursor to the end of the current line.
Alt+B. Move the cursor to the beginning of the current or previous word.
Alt+F. Move the cursor to the end of the next word.
Ctrl+U. Erase the current line.
Ctrl+K. Delete the line from the position of the cursor to the end of the line.
Ctrl+W. Delete the word before the cursor.
Shift+PageUp. Scroll terminal output up.
Shift+PageDown. Scroll terminal output down.
Ctrl+L. Does exactly the same as typing the clear command.
ArrowUp or Ctrl+P. Scroll up in the history and edit the previously executed commands. To execute them, press Enter like you normally do.
ArrowDown or Ctrl+N. Scroll down in the history and edit the next commands.
Ctrl+R. Find the last command that contained the letters you’re typing.
Ctrl+C. Kill the current process.
Ctrl+Z. Send the current process to background. Type the command fg to get the process back.
