Personally, out of those I've only used Ctrl-R in the terminal. I just use the Home/End keys to navigate to the start/end of lines. I was actually surprised to read that Ctrl-E and Ctrl-A would do that. I usually expect Ctrl-A to select all, and don't really expect anything from Ctrl-E.
(Though, I'd be surprised if home/end didn't work in Emacs, I'm just saying I've never used those readline keybinds).
- morelisp 6y agoHome/End should go to the start/end of the file, not the line. Oh you’re a Windows or Linux user? Too bad, now you need to get used to modern key bindings like OS X has.
- higerordermap 6y agoIt is not bad. Ctrl+Home, Ctrl+End. Get out of the apple cult.
- morelisp 6y agoI don't use OS X. I do use Emacs. I don't use CUA. HN has trouble with metaphor.
- BeetleB 6y ago> I just use the Home/End keys to navigate to the start/end of lines. If true, my guess is these were added to the shells recently (e.g. last 15 years). When I started using Linux (in the 2000's), these keybindings didn't work. It was Ctrl-A and Ctrl-E. I'd love to do a survey to see how many shell users use these vs Home/End.
- mgbmtl 6y agoI'm pretty sure the number of shell users has grown exponentially in recent years. I wouldn't be surprised if most users wouldn't know them. However, the more one uses the shell, knowing those emacs shortcuts really helps (not just Ctrl+A, but also going forward or back one word). Especially on a show connection.
