Bash Keyboard Shortcuts Stickers (opens in new tab)

> ^XX - Toggle between beginning of line & current cursor positions

This is not true. ^X^X is actually a well known for Emacs users command "exchange-point-and-mark" and it only skips to the beginning of line because that's where the mark is by default. You can set the mark yourself with C-<space> anywhere on the line. From this point on pressing ^X^X will move your cursor to where you activated the mark, and move the mark to where your cursor was. That's pretty useful sometimes.

These two should be equivalent, I think, unless there is something strange going on:

    Alt+T - Swap current word with prev
    Esc+T Swap last 2 words with prev

C-c abandons current line without saving it in the kill ring and no matter where on the line you are. Faster than C-e C-u or C-a C-k.

M-r (Alt R) works as if you pressed undo (C-/ or C-_) enough times to get back to the empty line.

I put a little cheatsheet for those things some time ago for my coworkers, it lives here: http://klibert.pl/readline.html

To be fair bash and readline were/are very closely related in terms of codebases. But it's true that almost all command line interactive apps which don't use curses use readline, which makes those keyboard shortcuts worth knowing.

;)

On OS X, these shortcuts work in generic text inputs as well! That's enough of a reason to convince me to keep the default shortcuts.

You're right, it won't :/

These are made very specifically for MacBooks, but I'm thinking of making a more generic option soon!

Unfortunately only available with Apple key labels.

I'm happy to figure out shipping to other countries! Anywhere specific?

They are basically the same. In fact these short-cuts work for most things that use readline, e.g. psql, irb, bash, zsh, etc.
