I'm new to Ubuntu and know about as much about programming langue as a rock does. so I would like to know if there exist any books with the different commands (kinda like a dictionary style or something) or just an online guide to help out. I have used DOSBox before but it's been awhile since then so I do know how programming works if that helps out

1Welcome to Ask Ubuntu. Shell (terminal) can be used to enter commands which has nothing at all to do with programming, or it can be used to script (simple programming) tasks to automate tasks. Due to your frequent use of the programming word, I'm assuming you want help to script, so I'll offer help.ubuntu.com/community/Beginners/BashScripting. I'd suggest though you get familiar with using terminal/shell before you start scripting (see help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal possibly first)– guivercJul 16, 2018 at 1:26

1@guiverc I would recommend starting with Introduction to Linux tldp.org/LDP/intro-linux/html first before anything else.– M KJul 16, 2018 at 1:48

Going by your title, What I interpret is you need Navigation commands, shortcuts or tips-tricks related to that.
In that case Read this section under Chapter 1: Getting started with GNU/Linux from book :
Section 1.1: Useful shortcuts
Please see the About Page that states :

Also there is lots of Linux knowledge documented by experienced community guys. Have a look at that also.
Feel free to add-in more details.
