Command history

SmartWare maintains a list of previously entered commands that you can go through by pressing the <up-
arrow> and <down-arrow> keys, and then pressing <enter> to enter the command.
The show history command displays a list of the commands you can go through by using the arrow keys.

Command Editing Shortcuts

SmartWare CLI provides a number of command shortcuts that facilitate editing of the command line. Com-
mand editing shortcuts are summarized in
while holding down the keyboard's control key (sometimes labeled Control, Ctl, or Ctrl, depending on the key-
board and operating system of your computer).
<Esc>-<f> is handled differently; press and release the escape key (often labeled Esc on many keyboards) and
then press the <f> key.

mand, e.g. to enter a regular expression, press Ctrl-v immediately fol-
