When writing a long command in the *nix command line and having to go back to the first character, in order to add something at the beginning (for instance a nohup
, when you realize the process will be a long one, or a sudo
, when you realize you need root permissions) it can take a long time for the cursor to make its way back to the first character...
Is there a short cut that allows you to jump straight there?
