Linux Tip: Terminal Shortcuts
Terminal Keyboard shortcuts
Ctrl+C: Interrupt the current foreground process running
Ctrl+Z: Suspend the current foreground process running
Ctrl+L: Clear the screen. This is similar to running the “clear” command
Ctrl+S: Stop all output to the screen. This is particularly useful when running commands with a lot of long, verbose output, but you don’t want to stop the command itself with Ctrl+C
Ctrl+Q: Resume output to the screen after stopping it with Ctrl+S
Ctrl+W: Cut the word before the cursor, adding it to the clipboard
Ctrl+Y: Paste the last thing you cut from the clipboard
Tab: Automatically complete the file, directory, or command you’re typing
pwd - to determine your current directory location
