Having gotten into computers in the early 1990s, I knew a lot of "Things Every Hacker Once Knew", but I did find something exciting that I didn't know in the discussion of ASCII control characters: >ETB (End of Transmission Block) = Ctrl-W
>Nowadays this is usually "kill window" on a web browser, but it used to mean "delete previous word" in some contexts and sometimes still does. I tried Ctrl-W in a Linux console and it works! This will save me some trouble in the future. |
