Instructor: Let's say I have a long command here, I want to go to the beginning of the line, I want to go back here. I can use Ctrl+A to go to the beginning of the line, and then Ctrl+E to go back to the end.
I can also use Ctrl+K to clear the entire line up to my cursor. You can see I'm in the middle of the line, I'm going to do Ctrl+K, it's going to clear all the text up to it. I can use Ctrl+W to delete the last word. Ctrl+W, Ctrl+W deletes those words. Then finally, Ctrl+L clears the screen. This is equivalent to the clear command which does the same thing.
