really useful? i'll have to say not.ctrl+a and ctrl+e are a must know, in IOS or most any shell that will work. the rest is kind of fluff. your better off just piping your history into less or a grep or something instead of trying to memorize all these shortcuts. and if you don't know tab completion and tab shortcuts already then stop now. ;P

man bash is 2,500 lines. A summary is welcomed.

I agree ... this page is just the emacs mode for cmd-line editing ... vi users will be much happier with the vi syntax cmdline editor...

Most of the keys presented are actually implemented bythe readline library, and so apply also to python, gnuplot, ftp, bc, ...Note a lot of the keys presented you would never use.I've documented the most useful ones previously here:<a class="user" href="http://www.pixelbeat.org/lkdb/readline.html">http://www.pixelbeat.org/lkdb/readline.html</a>

Of course, I'm biased, but I find my own list of Bash keyboard shortcuts [<a class="user" href="http://www.bigsmoke.us/readline/shortcuts]">http://www.bigsmoke.us/readline/shortcuts]</a> a little more useful. By the way, as others have probably already mentioned, most of these shortcuts are not bash specific, but available in all applications that use libreadline.
