The GNOME Terminal is a very useful tool for students as well as professionals to perform important and critical tasks as simple as editing a text document to some complex system administration. It is very handy to know a few shortcuts which can go a long way in reducing the number of keystrokes and some headache as well!
Given below is a list of
12 shortcuts that can help a lot, especially if you need to type the
same commands again and again:
