I have ever fond it somewhere, this is EMACS style, If you like emacs, it it very useful.

ctrl-l — clear screen.

ctrl-r — does a search in the previously given commands so that you don’t have to repeat long command.

ctrl-u — clears the typing before the hotkey.

ctrl-k — delete from current cursor to the end of the line.

ctrl-a — takes you to the begining of the command you are currently typing.

ctrl-e — takes you to the end of the command you are currently typing in.

ctrl-c — kills the current command or process.

ctrl-d — kills the shell.

ctrl-h — deletes one letter at a time from the command you are typing in.

ctrl-z — puts the currently running process in background, the process can be brought back to run state by using fg command.

alt-. — gives the last command you typed.

alt-b — takes you back by one word while typing a command.
