- End or Ctrl-e moves to the end of line
- Left and right moves one character left or right
- Alt-left and Alt-right moves one word left or right, or moves forward/backward in the directory history if the commandline is empty
- Up and down search the command history for the previous/next command containing the string that was specified on the commandline before the search was started. If the commandline was empty when the search started, all commands match. See the <a href='#history'>history </a>section for more information on history searching.
- Alt-up and Alt-down search the command history for the previous/next token containing the token under the cursor before the search was started. If the commandline was not on a token when the search started, all tokens match. See the <a href='#history'>history </a>section for more information on history searching.
- Delete and backspace removes one character forwards or backwards
- Ctrl-c delete entire line
- Ctrl-d delete one character to the right of the cursor, unless the buffer is empty, in which case the shell will exit
- Ctrl-k move contents from cursor to end of line to <a href="#killring">killring</a>
- Ctrl-u move contents from beginning of line to cursor <a href="#killring">killring</a>
- Ctrl-k move contents from the cursor to the end of line to the <a href="#killring">killring</a>
- Ctrl-u move contents from the beginning of line to the cursor to the <a href="#killring">killring</a>
- Ctrl-l clear and repaint screen
- Ctrl-w move previous word to <a href="#killring">killring</a>

- Ctrl-w move previous word to the <a href="#killring">killring</a>
- Alt-d move next word to the <a href="#killring">killring</a>
- Alt-w prints a short description of the command under the cursor
- Alt-l lists the contents of the current directory, unless the cursor is over a directory argument, in which case the contents of that directory will be listed
- Alt-k prints a list of all key bindings

not empty when starting a history search, only the commands containing
the string entered into the command line are shown.
By pressing Alt-up and Alt-down, a history search is also performed,
but instead of searching for a complete commandline, each commandline
is tokenized into separate elements just like it would be before
execution, and each such token is matched agains the token under the
cursor when the search began.
History searches can be aborted by pressing the escape key.
The history is stored in the file '.fish_history'. It is automatically
read on startup and merged on program exit.
