Scumbags (such as me) must feel that it is very inefficient to control the calculator by entering a string of characters when typing commands in the Linux command window (terminal).
The Linux command interpreter (Shell) has many shortcut keys, mastering them well can greatly improve the operation efficiency. The most commonly used shortcut keys are listed below, this is not the full version yet.
Command line shortcuts:

- Ctrl L : clear screen
- Ctrl M : equivalent to carriage return
- Ctrl C : Interrupt the currently executing program
Historical commands:
- Ctrl P : the previous command, you can always press it to turn forward
- Ctrl N : next command
- Ctrl R , then press the string that appeared in the history command: find the history command by string (highly recommended)
