Files in doc/cli/*.md are used in and displayed as help text in the CLI admin-exec level. So we cannot use standard admonitions (yet) since the terminal markdown converter (lowdown) doesn't support the syntax. Signed-off-by: Joachim Wiberg <troglobit@gmail.com>

# CLI Keybindings
|
|
|
|
Writing CLI commands by hand is very tedious. To make things easier the
|
|
CLI has several keybindings, most significant first:
|
|
|
|
| **Key** | **Cmd/Key** | **Description** |
|
|
|---------|----------------|--------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| TAB | | Complete current command, see below for example |
|
|
| ? | | Show available commands, or arguments, with help |
|
|
| Ctrl-c | | Cancel everything on current line |
|
|
| Ctrl-d | `abort`/`exit` | Delete character, or abort/exit on empty line |
|
|
| Ctrl-z | `leave` | Leave and activate changes in configure context |
|
|
| Ctrl-f | Right arrow | Move cursor forward one character |
|
|
| Ctrl-b | Left arrow | Move cursor back one character |
|
|
| Meta-f | Ctrl-Right | Move cursor forward one word |
|
|
| Meta-b | Ctrl-Left | Move cursor back one word |
|
|
| Ctrl-e | End | Move cursor to end of line |
|
|
| Ctrl-a | Home | Move cursor to beginning of line |
|
|
| Ctrl-k | | Kill (cut) text from cursor to end of line |
|
|
| Ctrl-u | | Delete (cut) entire line |
|
|
| Ctrl-y | | Yank (paste) from kill buffer to cursor |
|
|
| Meta-. | | Yank (paste) last argument from previous line |
|
|
| Ctrl-w | Meta-Backspace | Delete (cut) word to the left |
|
|
| | Meta-Delete | Delete (cut) word to the right |
|
|
| Ctrl-l | | Clear screen and refresh current line |
|
|
| Ctrl-p | Up arrow | History, previous command |
|
|
| Ctrl-n | Down arrow | History, next command |
|
|
| Ctrl-r | | History, reversed interactive search (i-search) |
|
|
|
|
## What is Meta?
|
|
|
|
The Meta key is called Alt on most modern keyboards. If you have
|
|
neither, first tap the Esc key instead of holding down Alt/Meta.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Complete a word. Start by typing a few characters, then tap the TAB key
|
|
on your keyboard:
|
|
|
|
conf<TAB> --> configure
|
|
|
|
See possible arguments, with brief help text, to a command:
|
|
|
|
show ?
|
|
bridge Show bridge (ports/fdb/mdb/vlans)
|
|
datetime Show current date and time, default RFC2822 format
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
Type the command, then tap the `?` key.
