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.

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.
For example, if you configure show as the alias for the display keyword, you can enter show to execute
a display command.
Usage guidelines
• After you successfully execute a command by using a keyword alias, the system saves the keyword,
instead of its alias, to the running configuration.
• If you press Tab after entering part of an alias, the keyword is displayed.
