Moving and editing on a line
Works for emacs, and also for the terminal command line which particularly useful for the everyday life
- go towards next(previous) word
Esc-f, Esc-b
- go to the end(beginning) of a line
Ctrl-e, Ctrl-a
- Cut text towards end of line and put it into the kill ring
Ctrl-k
- Kills next(previous) word and put it into the kill ring
Esc-d, Esc-Backspace
- Paste what is in the kill ring
Ctrl-y
History of commands
- a useful command : '!com' recalls the last command which first letters are com. For instance:
!a
will call acroread file.pdf if this was the last command starting with 'a'.
- another way to find a command in the history is to pipe the history command to grep:
history|grep acroread
Handling batch jobs
- if you want to send a job on a computer and logout without killing the job:
nohup ./job
The coma to point conversion in French environment
if you are working with a configuration of Linux which has not the dot "." as a standard format for floating points data (for instance the coma "," in French), you can add the following two lines in your .bashrc file:
LC_NUMERIC=en_US export LC_NUMERIC
this will make the job without too many side effects.
