25.13 Keyboard Shortcuts for Snippet Editing

In addition to the commands in Fig. 25.6, JShell supports many keyboard shortcuts for editing code, such as quickly jumping to the beginning or end of a line, or jumping between words in a line. JShell’s command-line features are implemented by a library named JLine 2, which provides command-line editing and history capabilites. Figure 25.7 shows a sample of the shortcuts available.
