Editing Command Lines That Wrap

You can use a wrap-around feature for commands that extend beyond a single line on the screen. When the cursor reaches the right margin, the command line shifts ten spaces to the left. You cannot see the first ten characters of the line, but you can scroll back and check the syntax at the beginning of the command.

To scroll back to the beginning of the command entry, press Ctrl-Bor the left arrow key repeatedly. You can also press Ctrl-Ato immediately move to the beginning of the line.

Note The arrow keys function only on ANSI-compatible terminals such as VT100s.
