BASH HOTKEYS 
Bash provides many hot keys to ease use. Like
 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-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.
 esc-b   -- takes you back by one word while typing a command.
 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.
 esc-p  -- like ctrl-r lets you search through the previously given commands.
 esc-.  -- gives the last command you typed.
