I use the default terminal in Ubuntu 14 (bash) and to scroll by page it is Shift + PageUp or Shift + PageDown to go up/down a whole page. Ctrl + Shift + Up or Ctrl + Shift + Down to go up/down by line. This depends on your terminal emulator, not the shell you are using.
Ctrl+A or Home: Go to the beginning of the line. Ctrl+E or End: Go to the end of the line. Alt+B: Go left (back) one word.

On Mac, a common shortcut across the OS is alt+backspace to delete backwards a word and alt+fn+backspace to delete forwards a word.In the Terminal app on your Mac, in the window running the shell process you want to quit, type exit , then press Return.
Ctrl+A or Home: Go to the beginning of the line. Ctrl+E or End: Go to the end of the line.
To delete the word in front of the cursor, use [Ctrl][W]. To delete the word after the cursor, use [Alt][D]. You can also search history quickly using [Ctrl][R].
The meta key is a key on some keyboards, normally located adjacent to the spacebar that can be used to perform special functions when combined with another key.
To exit from bash type exit and press ENTER . If your shell prompt is > you may have typed ' or " , to specify a string, as part of a shell command but have not typed another ' or " to close the string. To interrupt the current command press CTRL-C .
Press this shortcut and start typing to search your bash history for a command. Ctrl+O: Run a command you found with Ctrl+R. Ctrl+G: Leave history searching mode without running a command.
3 Answers. Ctrl C tells the terminal to send a SIGINT to the current foreground process, which by default translates into terminating the application. Ctrl D tells the terminal that it should register a EOF on standard input, which bash interprets as a desire to exit. Ctrl + D ( ^D ) means end of file.
Ctrl + C is used to kill a process with signal SIGINT , in other words it is a polite kill . Ctrl + Z is used to suspend a process by sending it the signal SIGTSTP , which is like a sleep signal, that can be undone and the process can be resumed again.
If your question is about undoing something typed at the command line (but not yet executed) that's something else. Most shells let you undo the last edit with ctrl+_ or ctrl+u.
To navigate to your home directory, use "cd" or "cd ~" To navigate up one directory level, use "cd .." To navigate to the previous directory (or back), use "cd -" To navigate through multiple levels of directory at once, specify the full directory path that you want to go to.

4 basic Terminal Mac shortcuts
Command (?) + T is used in order to open a new terminal window. Command (?) + N is used in order to open a new tab in the terminal.

Use the escape key [ESC] on the keyboard or select another command.
Press CTRL+P to switch to the last command, and then press CTRL+O to execute it. This will do the wonder. No configuration needed! You can use CTRL+O as many times as you want to keep re-executing the last commands.
ctrl+c/ctrl+v to copy/paste [some terminals can use shift-ctrl-C/shift-ctrl-V; this is a good substitute] shift+arrow to highlight text. shift+ctrl+arrow to highlight an entire word.
1) In addition to the Pause/Break button you can duplicate it's functionality by Using "CTRL+C". This will cause the cmd script to pause and ask you if you would like to terminate it.
