_ Friendly Tips _:
Most of the Bash shortcuts described above only work when in Emacs edit mode, and if you configure Bash as VI edit mode, it will follow the VI key bindings. Bash defaults to emacs edit mode. If your Bash is not in Emacs edit mode, you can set -o emacs
set it up.
^s, ^q, ^c, ^z are processed by the terminal equipment, can be set by the stty
command.
