Keys Run `bindkey` in `zsh` to see all of them. `^[` is `Meta` and `^` is `Control`. Dump the keycodes with `sudo dumpkeys -C /dev/console`. The *kill ring*. When something is erased, in most cases, is placed in a *kill ring*. To get what is inside the *kill ring* use `C-y`. *Kill* means move it to the *kill ring*. | Key | command | Explanation | | --- | :-----: | :---------- | | `ESC` | prefix-meta | Metafy the next character typed. `ESC f` is equivalent to `Meta-f`. | | `C-x C-e` or `C-x-e` | edit-command-line | Edit the current line in $EDITOR | | `C-_` or `C-x C-u` | undo | Incremental undo, separately remembered for each line. | | `C-o` | operate-and-get-next | Accept the current line for return to the calling application as if a newline had been entered, and fetch the next line relative to the current line from the history for editing. A numeric argument, if supplied, specifies the history entry to use instead of the current line. | | `C-k` | kill-line | Kill the text from cursor to the end of the line. | | `C-x Rubout` or `C-x C-k` | backward-kill-line | Kill backward to the beginning of the line. `Rubout` is `Backspace`. `Rubout` does not work for me in zsh. | | `C-u` | unix-line-discard | Kill backward from point to the beginning of the line. The killed text is saved on the kill-ring. | | `M-.` or `M-_` | yank-last-arg | Insert the last argument to the previous command (the last word of the previous history entry). With a numeric argument, behave exactly like yank-nth-arg | | `C-d` | end-of-file (EOF) and delete-char | The character indicating end-of-file as set, for example, by "stty". Also deletes the current character. | | `M-t` | transpose-words | Drag the word before point past the word after point, moving point over that word as well. If point is at the end of the line, this transposes the last two words on the line. | | `M-n-Backspace` | ? | Kill `n` words backwards. The words can be printed again with `C-y` | | `M-Rubout` or `C-w` | backward-kill-word | Kill the word behind point. Word boundaries are the same as those used by backward-word. | zsh only: | Key | command | Explanation | | --- | :-----: | :---------- | | `M-s` | spell-word | Fix word in cursor. Does not seem to work for arguments. | | `M-q` or `C-q` | push-line | Push the current buffer onto the buffer stack and clear the buffer. Next time the editor starts up, the buffer will be popped off the top of the buffer stack and loaded into the editing buffer. | | `M-g` or `C-g` | get-line | Pop the top line off the buffer stack and insert it at the cursor position. | | `M-l` | ls | execute `ls` | | `M-'` | quote-line | Quote the current line; that is, put a `'` character at the beginning and the end, and convert all `'` characters to `'\''`. | More zsh

patch

git diff origin/master docs/arch/fstab.md > ~/fstab.patch
patch -p1 < file.patch

How -p works

-pn means Strip the smallest prefix containing n leading slashes from each file name found in the patch file.

If your patch contains

--- a/docs/arch/fstab.md
+++ b/docs/arch/fstab.md

patch will merge a/docs/arch/fstab.md with b/docs/arch/fstab.md.

If you specify -p1 it will merge docs/arch/fstab.md with docs/arch/fstab.md.

With -p2 arch/fstab.md with arch/fstab.md.

And -p3 fstab.md with fstab.md.

How to create a patch with git

Create patch.

git clone --depth 1 <repo>
cd <repo>
vim path/to/file.md
git diff origin/master path/to/file.md > ~/file.patch

Creates a diff with this headers. You have to strip a/ and b/ with -p1 in patch.

--- a/path/to/file.md
+++ b/path/to/file.md

Patch.

git clone --depth 1 <repo>
cd <repo>
patch -p1 < ~/file.patch
