Re: Time saving tips for during LAB [Time Management]

And expanding on Nick's reply, master using terminal shortcuts, like:

- CTRL-A: move cursor to begin of line
- CTRL-E: move cursor to end of line
- CTRL-W: deletes previous word
- ESC-B: move cursor back one word
- ESC-F: move cursor forward one word
etc...

Also master using "|" (pipe) commands like begin, include, and section

B I know some are fans of individual windows for each router, but I liked the console approach for my studying and used it for the lab as well.
