DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #65 from der.hans <der.hans@LuftHans.com>
:
Wondering about which KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS ARE UNDERSTOOD BY BASH?
Enter this at your bash shell prompt:
	bind -p | less
and see how much of that you can interpret :). For more info
about all of this stuff, do "man bash" then search for "emacs"
and "readline" (to search a manpage, press / and then the pattern
to look for).
