contents of the buffer, but you would still like to insert and delete lines.
CTRL B (clear to beginning of line)
Clears all text from the cursor to the beginning of the line. Does not write
to the buffer.
CTRL E (clear to the end of line)
Clears all text from the cursor to the end of the line. Does not write to the
buffer.
NOTE: CTRL C, M, B, E and A can be used together to insert text in the middle
of a paragraph. I'll demonstrate with this paragraph.
What I'll do is insert "(ain't that grand?)" between "text" and "in". First,
duplicate the first line to be changed with CTRL C and CTRL M:
NOTE: CTRL C, M, B, E and A can be used together to insert text in the middle

Now, edit the lines like this with CTRL E and CTRL B:

of a paragraph. I'll demonstrate with this paragraph.
Now, type in the extra text:

(ain't that grand?) in the middle
of a paragraph. I'll demonstrate with this paragraph.
Finally, align (repack) the block:

grand?) in the middle of a paragraph. I'll demonstrate with this paragraph.
This may seem like a lot of steps (and it is), but it's really a lifesaver on
a LARGE paragraph where the alternative is to retype part of each line.
CTRL U and CTRL O (underlining mode and underlining off mode)
Default is CTRL O (underlining off). Pressing CTRL U will cause any furthur
text typed to be displayed in reverse video (underlined text). CTRL O cancels
this mode.
CTRL P and CTRL N (previous and next screen)
These functions allow rapid movement through the document. CTRL N will move
you ahead 11 lines, and CTRL P back 11 lines.
CTRL F and CTRL L (get first or last page)
CTRL F will move you immediately to the first page, first line, first
character. CTRL L sends you to to the last page, last line, last character.
CTRL W (word search)
This function will hunt down a word or string for you and take you there
immediately. The word or string can be up to 80 characters long, and can be
searched from the beginning of the document or from the last cursor position.
This will allow you to go to a specific area in your document without having
to burn your eyes out looking for a key word or phrase.
The search performed is defaulted to a wild card search. Searching for the
word "for" will return the first found of any of the following strings:
forward forcast for fort
To ensure the routine will only find "for" use this for the string:for *
(note the space between the asterisk and the word). This is sort of an "anti"
wild card, but what it really does is ensure that the search routine will
look for the string "for" with a space after it, eliminating matches with the
other strings.
I also use CTRL W to search for labels (and references to them) in my source
files. Allows me to make changes, and find ALL references to the label. I
just keep searching until the routine tells me it can't find the string (at
that point I know I have them all.
NOTE: If the first occurrance of the word in your document is not the one
you're looking for, do a cursor right and search again, but this time answer
no to the first prompt. This will continue the search from the last cursor
position and find the next occurrance of the word.
