Key Combinations to Move the Cursor
Table 5-8 shows the key combinations or sequences you can use to move the cursor around on the
command line to make corrections or changes. When you use cursor control keys, consider the following
guidelines:
• Ctrl indicates the Control key, which must be pressed simultaneously with its associated letter key.
• Esc indicates the Escape key, which must be pressed first, followed by its associated letter key.
• Keys are not case sensitive.
Keystrokes to Control Capitalization
Letters can be uppercase or lowercase using simple key sequences. Table 5-9 describes the keystroke
combinations used to control capitalization.
Note Cisco IOS XR commands are generally case insensitive and typically all in lowercase.
