    Did you know...?


    TAB key best auto-completes in almost every case. You can safely ignore other completion keys. If running a program, Ctrl-c sends a SIGTERM, Ctrl-z sends the process to background and the command 'fg' brings it foreground again. Ctrl-x Ctrl-e opens the default $EDITOR and runs the edited command.

    Note: Divided keys that have no utility are coloured gray. If they are useful with only one modifier, then they are coloured just once for that modifier

    Controlkey

    Key

    To run a program directly into background, apend a & after the program name, like $ ping www.google.com & To kill processes by their name, use 'killall name' The Up and Down cursor keys let you browse through history Ctrl-PageUp and CtrlPageDown let you scroll the terminal, even remote or graphical ones.

    If running from a remote terminal, background processes will be killed when you logout. To avoid this, use nohup and & like $ nohup wget foo.com & Remember to escape filenames or use quotes (") if there are spaces or special characters: $ ls -l "some document $ rm make\$\$\$fast.txt And finally, remember that GUIs are cool, but the terminal can save you a lot of time!
