Bash-emacs-editing-mode-cheat-sheet

Peteris @ http://www.catonmat.net/projects/cheat-sheets has written a number of "cheat sheets" (like bash-emacs-editing-mode-cheat-sheet) that may be helpful for someone starting out.

There's 8 guides there now with more promised.

9 guides now!

I just wrote a another article with a cheat sheet. It's called "The Definitive Guide to Bash Command Line History" (click to read). This tutorial teaches you how to quickly retrieve and modify commands you executed previously.

It starts by reviewing the keyboard shortcuts for history retrieval in emacs and vi editing modes, then it covers the commands for listing and erasing the history, then it goes into discussing history expansion mechanism - event designators, word designators and their modifiers. Finally the guide lists variables and options to modify the default history behavior.

The cheat sheet comes in PDF, Plain Text ASCII and LaTeX:

• PDF format (.pdf): bash history cheat sheet (.pdf)
• ASCII .txt format: bash history cheat sheet (.txt)
• LaTeX format (.tex): bash history cheat sheet (latex .tex)
