Oh. My. God. Life changing! Out of curiosity, how did you discover that you could do this?

  It's been something I've used for many years, so I really don't recall any more just where I found out about it...

    Maybe it went something like "god damn it why can't I ctrl+v to copy, what other ctrl keys are there..."? And now I'm looking at http://ss64.com/bash/syntax-keyboard.html http://ss64.com/bash/syntax-keyboard.html and being amazed I didn't know about / forgot a few of these. It'd be nice to put some of the good ones on a coffee mug, I first learned useful vim commands from a coffee mug...

      Nope, because I've never used control-keystrokes to do cut-n-paste. I always use (and love) X-style mouse cut-n-paste and hate that there are no good implementations of it on other OSes.

        Dating myself, the way I learned copy and paste was CTRL-insert and SHIFT-insert, and those still work fine in konsole, mate-terminal, most any other half-decent terminal program, and straight text mode outside of X. Not xterm, but I never use that.

  I am not the GP but I learned about C-o by reading the man page. If you spend a lot of time in Bash, why not learn to use it properly? There are less than ~100 key bindings, see "Readline Command Names" in http://linux.die.net/man/1/bash http://linux.die.net/man/1/bash You should at the very least skim over them. operate-and-get-next (C-o) Accept the current line for execution and fetch the next line relative to the current line from the history for editing. Any argument is ignored.
