This is not just for online viewing, these markdown documents are also
made available in the CLI itself from admin-exec as:
help [introduction | keybindings | tutorial]
With this commit we also add lowdown and the real less application to
be the Infix help system.

# Keybindings
|
|
|
|
> Tap `q` or `Ctrl-c` to quit the help viewer.
|
|
|
|
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` | Abort context, `exit` in admin-exec |
|
|
| 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 |
|
|
| Alt-f | Ctrl-Right | Move cursor forward one word |
|
|
| Alt-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 |
|
|
| Ctrl-w | Alt-Backspace | Delete (cut) word to the left |
|
|
| | Alt-Delete | Delete (cut) word to the right |
|
|
| | | |
|
|
|
|
> **Note:** the Alt key on your keyboard may also be called Meta. If you
|
|
> have neither, first tap the Esc key instead of holding down Alt/Meta.
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
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 ?
|
|
|
|
Type the command, then tap the `?` key.
