Move cursor in OS X terminal
I've been using shortcuts to move around long commands:
- option key + arrows to jump between words
- ctrl + a to move to the beginning.
Tip on HN really rocks
OSX Terminal: hold option and click a position in the current line to move your cursor to that position. #yearslost
