Moving the cursor on the command line
Table 2 shows the key combinations or sequences to move the cursor on the command line. Ctrl
defines the Control key, which must be pressed simultaneously with its associated letter key.
Esc supports the Escape key (which must be pressed first), followed by its associated letter key.
Keys are not case sensitive. Specific letters are used to provide an easy way of remembering their
functions. In
Table 2 , bold characters bold indicate the relation between a letter and its function.
Completing a partial command name
If you cannot remember a command name (or if you want to reduce the amount of typing you have
to perform) enter the first few letters of a command, then press the Tab key. The command line
parser completes the command if the string entered is unique to the command mode. If your
keyboard does not have a Tab key, press Ctrl-I.
