Editing What You Have Typed (GNU Octave (version 11.1.0))

#### 1.2.8 Editing What You Have Typed ¶

At the Octave prompt, you can recall, edit, and reissue previous commands using Emacs- or vi-style editing commands. The default keybindings use Emacs-style commands. For example, to recall the previous command, press `Control-p` (written `C-p` for short). Doing this will normally bring back the previous line of input. `C-n` will bring up the next line of input, `C-b` will move the cursor backward on the line, `C-f` will move the cursor forward on the line, etc.

A complete description of the command line editing capability is given in this manual, see Command Line Editing.
