Entering and Editing Commands
Notes for entering commands.
• The CLI is not case-sensitive.
• You can enter partial CLI keywords.
– Enter the minimum number of letters to uniquely identify a command. For example, you cannot
enter cl as a partial keyword because both the clock and class-map commands begin with the
letters “cl.” You can enter clo, however, as a partial keyword because only one command begins
with those three letters.
• The TAB key auto-completes keywords in commands. Enter the minimum number of letters to
uniquely identify a command.
• The UP and DOWN arrow keys display previously entered commands (refer to Command History ).
• The BACKSPACE and DELETE keys erase the previous letter.
• Key combinations are available to move quickly across the command line. The following table
describes these short-cut key combinations.
