Terminal: navigate to beginning and ending of line

post command line tips

Navigation to beginning and end of line

Sometimes it's handy to go to the beginning of the line, maybe you want to add a forgotten sudo? Or to move to the end of the line to add some arguments?

To navigate to the beginning of the current line, use: CTRL+a. To navigate to the end of the current line: CTRL+e.

Hint: the shortcuts work on most of the applications inside the terminal, like Vim, Emacs and others.
