How to Move the Cursor

character or line at a time work in both edit mode and insert mode.

In edit mode and insert mode you can move the cursor with the arrow keys or
with control characters. The right arrow key and ^L move the cursor one
character to the right. The left arrow key and ^H move the cursor one character
to the left. The up arrow key and ^K move the cursor up one line. The down
arrow key and ^J move the cursor down one line.
