Nano keyboard shortcut to go through line faster?
Is there an shortcut in nano for moving through a line faster? I have some log files with gigantic lines and getting to the middle of them is awful.
I know I could use a different text editor that doesn't have this particular problem (less will wrap lines), but I'm used to nano and I like a lot of its other features.
Answer
Here are the shortcuts for moving through a line in nano.
Use these to go faster through a line:
ctrl + space move one word forward in a line.
alt + space move one word backwards in a line.
Other line shortcuts:
ctrl + f move one character forward in a line.
ctrl + b move one character backwards in a line.
ctrl + a move to the beginning of a line.
ctrl + e move to the end of a line
To move to a specific line use ctrl + _.
