Editing Command Lines That Wrap
You can use a wraparound 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. The
keystroke actions are optional.
To scroll back to the beginning of the command entry, press Ctrl-B or the left arrow key repeatedly. You can
also press Ctrl-A to immediately move to the beginning of the line.
The arrow keys function only on ANSI-compatible terminals such as VT100s.
