Tired of pressing delete 1,000 times to move around in your terminal window? Use these handy shortcuts and spare yourself the repetitve stress inducing, carpal-tunnel-flaring effects of using the command line in Macs and Linux.

My current favorites:

• ctrl-a: move to front of line
• ctrl-e: move to end of line
• ctrl-w: delete word before cursor
• ctrl-r: search past command history
• up/down arrow: page through previous commands
• alt-b / alt-f: move backward/forward one word (without deleting)
