How to move cursor a line at a time?
I often have a long command on the command line and would like to move through it by "lines" (say, about 130 characters). If I have a command that spans 3 or 4 lines in Terminal, is there any way to move right to the middle of it, or move back 100 characters at a time?

... is there any way to move right to the middle of it, or move back 100 characters at a time?" Bash uses readline as its command line editor. Nearly every readline command may be preceded with a numeric multiplier argument. For instance, M-4 M-f moves forward 4 words, and M-100 C-b moves backward 100 characters. As mentioned previously, if you don't have a Meta key mapped, use Esc instead.

If your commands are that long, you might also find it useful to edit the current command-line in your default text editor. Just press C-x C-e.
When you quit the editor the command is executed as normal. (You can change the editor used by setting the $EDITOR environment variable, it uses emacs by default I think). If you use vi-mode for the shell, the keybinding is esc-v. (or just v if your not in insert mode). |
