Here are some two-finger combinations26.1 that can save you some time. You might not discover these for a year or two unless you
| Key Combo | General Usage |
| Ctrl-A | Jump to beginning of line (home key) |
| Ctrl-E | Jump to end of line (end key) |
| Ctrl-B | Back one character (left arrow) |
| Ctrl-F | Forward one character (right arrow) |
| Ctrl-P | Previous line (up arrow) |
| Ctrl-N | Next line (down arrow) |
| Ctrl-H | Delete the character to the left and move left (in other words, the backspace key) |
| Ctrl-K | Cut from here to the end of the line |
| Ctrl-W | Cut from here to the beginning of the line |
| Ctrl-U | Clear entire line |
| Ctrl-L | Clear or refresh screen (the boss key!) |
| Ctrl-I | Tab key (very underappreciated by some) |
| Ctrl-G | The ``bell'' key, to recreate a system beep |
| Ctrl-X | Execute (context-specific and probably powerful) |
| Ctrl-S | Stop something scrolling |
| Ctrl-R | Resume something (usually scrolling, but ``any key'' is usually okay) |
| Ctrl-Q | Resume scrolling (when Ctrl-R doesn't do it) |
| Ctrl-M | Return key |
| Ctrl-C | Cancel this operation, in an abnormal way |
| Ctrl-D | Cancel this operation, in a normal way; close this session; finish this file; and so on |
| Ctrl-Z | Suspend this operation. Probably the most powerful since the OS likes to keep this one to itself so you can multi-task programs. Upshot of which, is that it's more often available than Ctrl-C. |
