# Introduction
The `readline-binding` module provides readline-like key bindings, such as
binding Ctrl-A to move the cursor to the start of the
line. To use, put the following in `~/.elvish/rc.elv`:
```elvish
use readline-binding
```
Note that this will override some of the standard bindings. For example, Ctrl-L will be bound to a function that clears the terminal
screen rather than start [location mode](../learn/cookbook.html).
See the
[source code](https://github.com/elves/elvish/blob/master/pkg/eval/mods/bundled/readline-binding.elv.go)
for details.
