Short Form Commands
The CLI supports the short forms of all commands. As long as it is possible to recognize the
entered command unambiguously, the CLI accepts the short form of the command as if the user
typed the full command.
Keyboard Shortcuts
The CLI has a range of keyboard shortcuts to assist in editing the CLI commands. The help
command, when used in the User EXEC and Privileged EXEC modes, displays the keyboard short
cuts.
The following table contains the CLI shortcuts displayed by the help command.
