Essential Terminal Shortcuts in Linux for Digital Circuit Design

In the design process of digital circuits, most operations related to the physical design of chips require the use of terminal shortcuts in the Linux system. These shortcuts can help improve work efficiency and are very practical.Next, I have summarized some commonly used terminal shortcuts. Feel free to save and collect them, and I also welcome everyone to contribute and improve this list.1. Basic Shortcuts

  • Ctrl + C Interrupt the currently running command
  • Ctrl + Z Suspend the current task, which can be resumed with fg.
  • Ctrl + D Delete the current character
  • Ctrl + A Move the cursor to the beginning of the line
  • Ctrl + E Move the cursor to the end of the line

2. Editing Shortcuts

  • Ctrl + L Clear the screen
  • Ctrl + H Delete the current character
  • Ctrl + U Delete content from the cursor to the beginning of the line
  • Ctrl + K Delete content from the cursor to the end of the line

5. Deleting Files/Folders
