image::{heading_image}[] So while reading the LPIC 1 certification book I compiled a list of the most used commandline shortcuts at that moment.

There  are of course many more interesting commands, this is just a short list of terminal commands.

…. Ctrl+P = up Ctrl+N = down Ctrl+R = backwards search Ctrl+G = don’t search Ctrl+A = beginning of line Ctrl+E = end of line Ctrl+Left/Right = word at a time Ctrl+D = Del button Ctrl+K = deletes all text from cursor to end of line Ctrl+X + Backspace = deletes all text from current cursor to beginning of line Ctrl+T= transpose character Esc + t = transpose words Esc+U = from cursor to end of word => UPPERCASE Esc+l= from cursor to end of word=>lowercase Esc+C = convert letter under cursor to uppercase Ctrl+X & CTRL+E = start editor defined by $EDITOR ….
