Entering a command

When you enter a command, you can use some keys or hotkeys to edit the command line, or use

abbreviated keywords or keyword aliases.

Editing a command line

You can use the keys listed in

Table 19

or the hotkeys listed in

Table 20

to edit a command line.

Table 19 Keys for editing a command line

Key Function

Common keys

If the edit buffer is not full, pressing a common key inserts the character at the
position of the cursor and moves the cursor to the right.

Backspace

Deletes the character to the left of the cursor and moves the cursor back one
character.

Left arrow key or Ctrl+B

Moves the cursor one character to the left.

Right arrow key or Ctrl+F

Moves the cursor one character to the right.

Tab

If you press Tab after entering part of a keyword, the system automatically
completes the keyword:

If a unique match is found, the system substitutes the complete keyword for

the incomplete one and displays what you entered in the next line.

If there is more than one match, you can press Tab repeatedly to choose

the keyword you want to enter.

If there is no match, the system does not modify what you entered but

displays it again in the next line.

Abbreviating commands

You can enter a command line quickly by entering incomplete keywords that can uniquely identify the

complete command. In user view, for example, commands starting with an s include startup

saved-configuration and system-view. To enter system view, you only need to enter sy. To set the

configuration file to be used at the next startup, you can enter st s.
You can also press Tab to have an incomplete keyword automatically completed.

Configuring and using command keyword aliases

The command keyword alias function allows you to replace the first keyword of a non-undo command or
the second keyword of an undo command with your preferred keyword when you execute the command.
