Line Editor Commands

This chapter provides detailed information for the line editor set of commands for the S- K- and 7100-Series platforms. The command line editor determines which key sequences can be used in the CLI. Example: Ctrl+A will move the cursor to the beginning of the command line when in Emacs mode. The CLI supports both vi- and Emacs-like line editing commands. By default, the “default” line-editing mode is configured, with no special key sequences. Basic Line Editing Emacs & vi Commands lists some commonly used Emacs and vi commands. Use the set line-editor command (set line-editor) to change the line-editor mode. For information about configuring the line editor, refer to Using the CLI in the S-, K-, and 7100 Series Configuration Guide.
