Terminal control keys, several key combinations on your keyboard, usually have a special effect on
the terminal, regardless of you are logged in with a PUDI session or you logged into a terminal through
within your console.
These control, which is controlled Setara, is the key on your keyboard, accomplished by holding the
control key while typing the second key.
So if you're doing control, hold on to it and then type the second key.
For example, control key means to hold the control key while you type the letters.
See the most common control keys are listed below that are used in Linux.
The first one is control you, which erases everything you have typed on a command line.
Control C stops or kills a command control Z suspends a command, can control the exit from an interactive
program, will try each of these keys one by one.
OK, we are route because we have found exit out of it.
Clear it could go back to our home.
Clear and again, the control key.
Let's say if you are typing piesse minus or up.
OK, sorry.
OK, print the one and you're typing a long command basically and you realize, oh, this is not the
command you have to type.
So you could hit back key and it will goes erase everything one character at a time cause it's going
to take a little longer or you could just simply type control and you erase everything you have typed.
So that's what control you is used for.
A second one is if you are in an interactive program, let's say you're running top and now you see
you don't have your prompt back to get your prompt back.
You could type control, see.
So control see is one of the keys that you're going to be using a lot more than other terminal control
keys, because every time you find yourself stuck and you cannot get out and you're not getting your
back type control see to get out, then you have control Z control Z as if you are running a process
and you stuck in that process, control Z will kill that process and it'll get you out of it.
Then the last one we have control the control the once again it does exit.
You are from it interactive program as well, which is running, let's say if you are running B.S.,
which is a binary calculator, you plus you're doing two plus ten add enter.
You had to do quit to get out of it.
Or you could just simply to control the many of these interactive programs had there different ways
to get out, sometimes quit work, sometimes simply key works.
But Control D is the one regardless of which interactive program you are and that control the will get
you out.
These are the few control and control keys that you should remember and Linux environment will help
you if you are stuck in anywhere.
