3.8.3 Editing Command Lines That Wrap
The enhanced editing feature provides a wraparound for commands that extend beyond a single line on the screen.
When the cursor reaches the right margin, the command line shifts 8 spaces to the left. You cannot see the first eight
characters of the line, but you can scroll back and check the syntax at the beginning of the command. To scroll back,
use the following command:
Keystrokes Purpose
Press Ctrl-B or the left arrow repeatedly
until you scroll back to the beginning of
the command entry, or press Ctrl-A to
return directly to the beginning of the
line. Return to the beginning of a command line to verify that you
have correctly entered a lengthy command.
Note: The arrow keys function only on ANSI-compatible terminals such as VT100.
In the following example, the access-list command entry extends beyond one line. When the cursor first reaches the
end of the line, the line is shifted 8 spaces to the left and redisplayed. The dollar sign ($) indicates that the line has
been scrolled to the left. Each time the cursor reaches the end of the line, it is again shifted 8 spaces to the left.
Router(config)# access-list 101 permit icmp 192.168.123.0 0.0.0.255 192
Router(config)# $ st 101 permit icmp 192.168.123.0 0.0.0.255 192.168.0.1
When you have completed the entry, press Ctrl-A to check the complete syntax before pressing Enter to execute the
command. The dollar sign ($) appears at the end of the line to indicate that the line has been scrolled to the right:
Router(config)# access-list 101 permit icmp 192.168.123.0 0.0.0.255 192$
Use line wrapping in conjunction with the command history feature to recall and modify previous complex command
entries.
3.8.4 Deleting Entries
Use any of the following commands to delete command entries if you make a mistake or change your mind:
Keystrokes Purpose
Press Delete or Backspace. Erase the character to the left of the cursor.
Press Ctrl-D. Delete the character at the cursor.
Press Ctrl-K. Delete all characters from the cursor to the end of the
command line.
Press Ctrl-U or Ctrl-X. Delete all characters from the cursor to the beginning of the
command line.
Press Ctrl-W. Delete the word to the left of the cursor.
Press Esc D. Delete from the cursor to the end of the word.
