one or more characters. In an escape sequence, <Escape > is referred to as ESC,a s in
<ESC f> for example. Case matters in escape sequences (unlike control characters,

<ESC f>.
You can enter an editing command anywhere on the line, not just at the beginning. In
addition, a return may also be pressed anywhere on the line, not just at the end.
Most editing commands accept a repeat count, n, where n is a number. Enter a repeat
count by pressing <Escape>, the number, and then the command to execute. For
example, <ESC 4> <Ctrl-f> moves forward four characters. Some of the descriptions
that follow are marked with [n] to identify commands that accept a repeat count.

<Ctrl-A> Move to the beginning of the line
<Ctrl-B> Move left (backward) [n]
