How do i delete the text from a cursor position to the end of the line in bash?



  • Man page for bash.

    I have the following command recalled on the bash cli.

    $ sudo rm -rf /var/lib/foreman /usr/share/foreman /usr/share/foreman-proxy/logs
    

    I only want to remove /var/lib/foreman, to get the cursor to the beginning of /usr/share/foreman, do the following.
    Use Ctrl-b to move the cursor over the character forward slash in the beginning of /usr/share/foreman, or just use the back cursor key.
    and then
    Type Ctrl-w

    You should be left with the following.

    $ sudo rm -rf /var/lib/foreman
