(update: 2017-12-15 added few magic mc commands at bottom)
When I started my jurney with *nix like systems, the environment was hostile to me. But after a few years it become obvious that the CLI is a superior way of dealing with Linux OS. You can see a lot of similiar articles in the web like here or here but this list is stripped to what I find useful on the one hand, eliminating obvious on the other (eg. I'm assuming that you know you can browse hostory with arrow key or use
tab
for apt-get install
completion).So here is my list.
ctrl+r
then type old-command-part - reverse search
Reverse search is one of the most important key shortcuts when using CLI, because usually you don't remember what exact arguments were used in in your beloved tricky_and_very_long_command you've commited in the past.
You will find out that in the real life there is a limited number of commands (with minor modifications) your are using frequently.
ctrl+d
leave or exit from console/ssh session etc
current line navigation commands
ctrl+e
go to end of linectrl+a
go to begining of linectrl+u
delete till begining of linectrl+k
delete till end of linectrl+w
delete word before cursor
set -o vi
command
tmux
Allows executing commands on a detached console (useful when doing something via ssh and can't/won't have open session) - this should be a separate blog post but here is my cheat sheettmux
start a new tmux sessiontmux a
ortmux attach
attach to an existing tmux session
ctrl+b+d
leave (d for detach) tmux session not killing itctrl+b+c
create a new panectrl+b+n
next panectrl+b+p
previous panectrl+b+"
split pane horizontallyctrl+b+%
split pane verticallyctrl+b+arrow
go to:up

holdingctrl
key and pressing one of arrow keys - allow change panel size!
ctrl+b
mc
- Midnight Commander
If you are old enough (like I am) you do remember famous Norton Commander or Total Commander.
Midnight Commander is a similar tool - superior when it comes to copy files over ssh or ftp.NOTE: if an escape key
esc
is not present int your keyboard - like in many bluetooth keyboards - you can use ctrl+[
instead.ctrl+\
- open favorite location list (then add current, edit, delete)esc+9
- open right pane menuesc+0
- exitesc+h
- in any entry field (like 'open ftp/ssh' dialog window) wherever ^ character is present - opens current entry field history dialog- alt + o - display dir under cursor on other pane
- alt + i - display current dir on other pane
- alt + . - display/hide hidden files
- alt + h - display history
- alt + y/u - change dir to previous/next dir
