Redo typing in OSX bash
In bash on OSX I can do ctrl-_
to undo what I most recently typed. Is there a corresponding redo command?
Solution 1:
ctrl-y
is the Readline 'yank' command which retrieves the kill buffer. ctrl-u
kills from the point to the beginning of the line (similar to OSX/bash ctrl-_
which clears the whole line). The Emacs-like Readline bindings are enabled in bash and a subset are enabled in many other places (browser search bars etc).
-
ctrl-u
kill from start of line to insertion point -
ctrl-k
kill from insertion point to end of line -
ctrl-w
kill previous word (and prepend to kill buffer) -
ctrl-y
yank contents of kill buffer
