Breaking News: Option + click in Mac OS Terminal

[Kevin Lee]

Holding down the Option key + clicking in Mac OS Terminal will move the cursor to where you clicked.

If you already knew this, kudos to you. If not, well - at least you will no longer be wasting time upon cumulative time...

Someone also said something about ctrl+a (start of line), ctrl+e (end of line)

I did not know the option/click tip, thanks for that. 

My favorite thing about the mac is how emacs short-cuts work in a lot of apps. Even Mail. (Emacs is where CTRL-A & CTRL-E come from).

Try CTRL-A followed by CTRL-K. Then CTRL-Y.

While we're at it... my most life-changing terminal discovery (not exclusive to Mac) was pressing ctrl-r to inline search previous commands.

Just press ctrl-r on a blank prompt and start typing any substring from a previous command in your history. Press ctrl-r again to jump through results, and finally either press tab to edit, enter to run, or ctrl-c to abort. Never type out the same command again

Chris,

This must be a bash or zsh thing.  Ctrl-R doesn't work for my old
reliable tcsh.

Kevin,

Thanks!  Opt-Click is new one for me.  Very useful!

I've added it to my list of favorite Mac keys:
