Using the Editor
Using Text Editors
Moving the Cursor to the Beginning or End of a Line
To move the cursor to the beginning or to the end of the line, proceed as follows:
1
If you are not in Edit Mode, type ^E to get into Edit Mode.
2
To move the cursor to the beginning of the current line, type b or B. To move the cursor to
the end of the current line, type e or E.
How to Insert Text
To enter text you must be in insert mode. If you are not already in insert mode, type ^N to
switch to Insert Mode.
Text inserted in the file pushes characters on the right side of the cursor to the right. Text does
not automatically wrap from the end of one line to the beginning of the next. You must press
Enter to end a typing line and start a new one.
How to Delete Text
The Delete command works in edit mode and insert mode. ^D deletes the character at the
cursor, moving the rest of the line one character to the left.
• To delete a character, move the cursor to the character, then type ^D.
• Use the DEL key to delete a character to the left of the cursor.
Note: DEL works in Edit and Insert Mode.
How to Open a Line
The command to Open a line may be executed in edit or insert mode. To open a line above
the current typing line, use ^O.
How to Undo Changes to a Line
The command to Undo changes to a line may be executed in edit or insert mode. Use ^U to
undo changes to a line. You must type ^U when you are still on the line, before you move to
another line or make any new changes. ^U will restore the line to the way it was before you
made any changes.
How to Join Two Lines
The command to join two lines can be executed from Edit or Insert Mode. To join two lines,
place the cursor anywhere on the second line and type ^R. The command joins the line
containing the cursor to the line immediately above it. The command will not work if the
resulting line would be 80 or more characters long.
How to Split Two Lines
The command to Split a line can be executed from edit or insert mode. Lines can be broken at
the cursor by using ^S. Place the cursor where you want the lines to be split and type ^S (if
this does not work on your remote terminal, change your terminal’s setting from XON-XOFF
to DTK).
