Unix and Linux shortcut keys

Introduction

Shortcuts are designed to help shorten the time required to perform frequently used commands or actions. In the below sections we have listed keyboard shortcut keys that can be performed by pressing two or more keys at once. In addition to keyboard shortcut keys, we have also listed command line shortcut keys that can be typed in at the shell.
Tip: Not all of the below shortcut keys and command line shortcuts will not work on all variants of Unix and Linux.

Keyboard shortcut keys

CTRL+BMoves the cursor backward one character.
CTRL+CCancels the currently running command.
CTRL+DLogs out of the current session.
CTRL+FMoves the cursor forward one character.
CTRL+HErase one character. Similar to pressing backspace.
CTRL+PPaste previous line(s).
CTRL+SStops all output on screen (XOFF).
CTRL+QTurns all output stopped on screen back on (XON).
CTRL+UErases the complete line.
CTRL+WDeletes the last word typed in. For example, if you typed 'mv file1 file2' this shortcut would delete file2.
CTRL+ZCancels current operation, moves back a directory or takes the current operation and moves it to the background. See bg command for additional information about background.

Command line shortcuts

In addition to the below command line shortcuts, it is also helpful to use the alias command that allows you to specify a keyword for frequently used commands or mistakes.
 ~Moves to the user's home directory.
!!Repeats the line last entered at the shell. See history command for previous commands.
!$Repeats the last argument for the command last used. See history command for previous commands.
resetResets the terminal if terminal screen is not displaying correctly.
shutdown -h nowRemotely or locally shuts the system down.

Top 10 keyboard shortcuts everyone should know
------------------------------------------------------------
Using keyboard shortcuts can greatly increase your productivity, reduce repetitive strain, and help keep you focused. For example, highlighting text with the keyboard and pressing Ctrl + C is much faster than taking your hand from the keyboard, highlighting the text using the mouse, clicking copy from the file menu, and then putting your hand back in place on the keyboard. Below are our top 10 keyboard shortcuts we recommend everyone memorize and use.

Ctrl + C or Ctrl + Insert

Both Ctrl + C and Ctrl + Insert will copy the highlighted text or selected item.

Ctrl + V or Shift + Insert

Both the Ctrl + V and Shift + Insert will paste the text or object that's in theclipboard.

Ctrl + Z and Ctrl + Y

Undo any change. For example, if you cut text, pressing this will undo it. This can also often be pressed multiple times to undo multiple changes. Pressing Ctrl + Y would redo the undo.

Ctrl + F

Pressing Ctrl + F opens the Find in any program. This includes your Internet browser to find text on the current page.

Alt + Tab or Ctrl + Tab

Quickly switch between open programs moving forward.
Tip: Press Ctrl + Tab to switch between tabs in a program.
Tip: Adding the Shift key to Alt + Tab or Ctrl + Tab will move backwards. For example, if you are pressing Alt + Tab and pass the program you want to switch to, press Alt + Shift + Tab to move backwards to that program.
Tip: Windows Vista and 7 users can also press the Windows Key + Tab to switch through open programs in a full screenshot of the Window.

Ctrl + Back space and Ctrl + Left or Right arrow

Pressing Ctrl + Backspace will delete a full word at a time instead of a single character.
Holding down the Ctrl key while pressing the left or right arrow will move the cursor one word at a time instead of one character at a time. If you wanted to highlight one word at a time you can hold down Ctrl + Shift and then press the left or right arrow key to move one word at a time in that direction while highlighting each word.

Ctrl + S

While working on a document or other file in almost every program pressing Ctrl + Ssaves that file. This shortcut key should be used frequently anytime you're working on anything important.

Ctrl + Home or Ctrl + End

Ctrl + Home will move the cursor to the beginning of the document and Ctrl + Endwill move the cursor to the end of a document.

Ctrl + P

Open a print preview of the current page or document being viewed. For example, press Ctrl + P now to view a print preview of this page.

Page Up, Space bar, and Page Down

Pressing either the page up or page down key will move that page one page at a time in that direction. When browsing the Internet pressing the space bar also moves the page down one page at a time.
Tip: If you are using the space bar to go down one page at a time press the Shift key and space bar to go up one page at a time.

What is the better INTEL or AMD (pros and cons) advantages-disadvantages CPU's?


COMPARING CPU'S
Some of the differences, advantages and disadvantages of Intel and AMD processors:
  1. On the Intel instruction set was MMX, SSE, SSE2, and SSE3, but the AMD SSE2 and 3DNow. But of the many instruction used by Intel actually has existed in its AMD 3DNow that is not owned by Intel.
  2. Maximum of 32K L1 on Intel, AMD is currently at 128K. Based on some tests of AMD with 128K L1 is superior to Intel.
  3. Many transistors on an Intel 100 billion is AMD 105 billion.
  4. The number of decoders, Integer, FP on intel AMD less than the differences that significantly improve the performance of AMD.
  5. Temperature on an Intel processor may be arranged by themselves (the processor will reduce the speed if the processor is too hot), on AMD64 maximum temperature is 900C. Intel technology is more superior than AMD.
  6. AMD is superior in the processing of communications applications, such as data transfer on the modem, ADSL, MP3, and doubly Suround Digital Sound.
  7. Pipeline on Intel's longer than AMD, but Intel's pipeline problems at the exchange task, so the speed is slow intel pipeline under AMD.
  8. Intel wins on brand image and marketnya, while AMD is a cheaper price.
  9. On an Intel Pentium 4 standard price, performance lumanyan fast. Sure, for the affairs of less than masshi graphics with AMD, but at least not fast Intel processor heat.
  10. On the AMD Athlon processor prices somewhat cheaper than Intel. Really good graphics, decent speed, but cepet really hotter than Intel.
  11. For the price and power (electricity) use AMD's much cheaper and far-saving advantages that electricity was not out a lot of capital and cash-flow for the monthly (pay for electricity) is slightly lighter

    INTEL:
    Advantages: 
    • Variants have the fastest performance, even there has been no AMD processors can reply jd unmatchable range hrg pd> 2jt (ga emg exactly AMD have processors with hrg> 2jt).
    • Many say a very stable heavy use purposes and multi-tasking applications
    • Variants and the price range most widely
    • Clock ratio / performance best
    • Small power consumption with high performance
    INTEL:
    Disadvantages: 
    • They are more expensive
    • The number of variants may only confuse
    • The highest variant (Extreme Edition) expensive knock on wood
    • The price of a platform (processor + mobo + RAM) is high.
    AMD:
    Advantages:
    • Cheap prices, with balanced performance
    • Variant is more directed toward economically with the price / performance ratio exceeding even the highest price / performance of Intel.
    • AMD's hot? says who? AMD's mah d dinosaur age still alive. Skrg, here uda much Reseller kl Quad-core AMD could even colder DRPD Intel Dual-core processors.
    • The highest variant (Black Edition) hrg with affordable priced, without losing face front d Intel processors at the same price.
    • Price platform (processor + mobo + RAM) cheaper without mengorbakan kseluruhan performance.

    AMD:
    Disadvantages:
    • DRPD higher power consumption Intel processor with similar performance
    • RasioClock / low performance lbh DRPD Intel (eg AMD Phenom II X4 955BE 3.2 GHz Intel just can ngimbangin reply Core 2 Quad Q9550 2.8 GHz and 3.6 GHz Phenom II 810 could diimbangin sm stock 2.6 GHz Core i5 750)

    Conclusion
    Intel's more powerful processors than AMD porsesor on multimedia applications and Multi-tasking, whereas AMD wins from Intel processors in its gaming and 3D programs. Ga no problem want to use AMD / INTEL Possible issue price considerations alone,,, AMD systems with capabilities equivalent to INTEL, INTEL cheaper than ... I underline, a system with equal ability you know ... Now please take your own conclusions ... to select which .... it's just as good ... The key can be retrieved with the specifications of masing2 brand ... because it's VITAL ...
