How to edit the content in cmd.exe?
With cmd.exe, when something's wrong with what I typed? What edit option can I do? I can use arrow key to move cursor one by one, but it would be great if there's a key for
- Move the cursor to the start of line
- Move the cursor to the end of line
- Move the cursor by the word not by character both directions (forward/backward)
- Delete the word (not a character) under the cursor.
Or, what would be other useful keys for editing?
I know you can do three of the four you requested:
- Move the cursor to the start of line: Home
- Move the cursor to the end of line: End
- Move the cursor by the word not by character both directions (forward/backward): Ctrl + <- or Ctrl + ->
Esc
- clears line (like Ctrl+U in bash). F7
shows you current session history. F3
- completion from previous command. F4
- delete to character. So you can place cursor at the beginning of word hit F4
and than character that will delimit your deletion.
