Keys and Mac equivalents don't always work. Use this instead of typing clear over and over.Ī lot of shell shortcuts work in iterm and it's good to learn these because arrow keys, home/end When this doesn't work ⌘ + K will tell iTerm to do it which works when you aren't in a shell. Especially when your last command was wrong by a single typo or something. This takes you off the home row but it's easy to rememberįast way to jump to a word to correct a typo or 'run again' with minor changes Ctrl-R is faster if you know the string you are looking for.
