Alternative delete a 'word' shortcut in Terminal
Authored by: robleach on Aug 31, '07 08:47:37AM

Cool. Most of these commands are working in tcsh too. I particularly like esc-delete, esc-d, and control-w. I've put those on a sticky until I have them memorized. I was disappointed that `bind -p` didn't come up with anything (command not found). Is there a tcsh analog to that command? I'd like to learn more keyboard commands. Also, are there any unforseen consequences of using the option key as a meta-key? What's the downside? Option-click still seems to work to position the cursor with the meta-thing checked.

Rob

with tcsh you can use bindkey tcsh also offer a extensive list of key bindings. I don't remember (I switched to bash a few yars ago) but it was quite nice. I particulary miss the -p history completion. But if you want to lean further type the magical command man tcsh
