"\e[C"	right arrow	forward-char	forward a character
"\e[B"	down arrow	next-history	show next history command
"\e[A"	up arrow	previous-history	show previous history command

"\C-x\e[3~"		backward-kill-line
"\e\C-?"		backward-kill-word

• Press tab to enable auto-completion prompt at any time.
• Enter command and - or --, then press tab to display the concrete options for the current command.

Custom shortcuts

Specify customization in $USER_HOME/.arthas/conf/inputrc file in the current user home directory.

Vim user may want to map ctrl+h to moving the cursor forward one character. To achieve this, copy the default configuration first,

"\C-a": beginning-of-line
"\C-e": end-of-line
"\C-f": forward-word
"\C-b": backward-word
"\e[D": backward-char
"\e[C": forward-char
"\e[B": next-history
"\e[A": previous-history
"\C-h": backward-delete-char
"\C-?": backward-delete-char
"\C-u": undo
"\C-d": delete-char
"\C-k": kill-line
"\C-i": complete
"\C-j": accept-line
"\C-m": accept-line
"\C-w": backward-delete-word
"\C-x\e[3~": backward-kill-line
"\e\C-?": backward-kill-word

then replace "\C-h": backward-delete-char with "\C-h": backward-char, then reconnect to Arthas console to take effect.

Shortcuts for jobs

• ctrl + c: Terminates current command
• ctrl + z: Suspends the current command, you can restore this command with bg/fg, or kill it.
• ctrl + a: Go to the beginning the line
• ctrl + e: Go to the end of the line
