# Using grep
kubectl get events | grep Schedule

- Use:
h -> move to lef
l -> move to right
j -> move down
k -> move up
- Esc + w -> move word to word, set cursor at the beginning of the word
- Esc + e -> move word to word, set cursor at the end of the word

- Esc + DD -> delete a line
- Esc + o -> add a new line
- Esc + :set nu -> to add line numbers
- Esc + dw -> Delete a word
- Esc + u -> revert changes
- Esc + / -> Find a word
* Esc :num + Enter -> go a specific number line in a file, example: Esc :22
# Indent several lines
- Shift + v -> to visual mode and up and down arrows to move the cursor
- Shift + > -> indentation to the right
- Shift + < -> indentation to the left
- Shift + 2> -> indentation to the right, two times
- Shift + 3< -> indentation to the left, three times
# Copy and paste single line
- Esc + y -> copy a line

In a terminal, you can move word by word in a line using the following shortcuts:
Ctrl + Right Arrow # Move the cursor to the beginning of the next word.
Ctrl + Left Arrow # Move the cursor to the beginning of the previous word.
# If youโre using a Mac terminal, the shortcuts are different:
Option + Right Arrow
Option + Left Arrow
