Listed below are some of the UNIX control-key commands: ctrl-s freezes the screen and stops any display on the screen from continuing (equivalent to a no-scroll key) (sometimes takes a moment to work) ctrl-q un-freezes the screen and lets screen display continue ctrl-c interrupts a running program ctrl-\ same as ctrl-c but stronger (used when terminal doesn't respond) ctrl-z suspends a running program (use the fg command to continue the program, see section Controlling Jobs) ctrl-h deletes last character typed ctrl-w deletes last word typed ctrl-u deletes last line typed ctrl-r redraws last line typed ctrl-d ends text input for many UNIX programs, including mail and write. +---+ http://xahlee.info/linux/linux_terminal_control_sequence_keys.html Linux: Terminal Control Sequence Keys By Xah Lee. Date: 2013-06-01. Last updated: 2020-06-07. Many keyboard shortcut conventions in Linux's terminal are from ancient terminal control sequences. For example: terminal control sequences key meaning ASCII code Ctrl+d exit terminal ASCII Code 4 “End Of Transmission” (^D). Ctrl+h backward delete ASCII Code 8 “Backspace” (^H). Ctrl+l clear screen ASCII Code 12 “Form Feed” (^L). Ctrl+c cancel/interrupt ASCII Code 3 “End of Text” (^C). Ctrl+z suspend ASCII Code 26 “Substitute” (^Z). [see Linux: Job Control] Terminal App Keys Here's most important keys in Gnome terminal. (You can see the full list under menu 〖Edit ▸ Keyboard Shortcuts…〗) Ctrl+Shift+c = copy. Ctrl+Shift+v = paste. Shift+PageUp = page up the terminal screen. Mouse scroll wheel works too. Shift+PageDown = page down the terminal screen. Shift+Home = move to top of the terminal screen. Shift+End = move to bottom of the terminal screen. Ctrl+PageUp = Previous tab. (same as Firefox.) Ctrl+PageDown = Next tab. Alt+1 = switch to tab 1. (same as Firefox.) Alt+2 = switch to tab 2. Ctrl+Shift+t = new tab. Ctrl+Shift+w = close tab. System-Wide Virtual Console Keys Ctrl+Alt+F1 Switch entire screen to virtual console 1. F1 can be up to F6. Ctrl+Alt+F7 Switch entire screen back to GUI mode. # enddoc
