You already know how to use the arrow keys to move around the document.
|
|
In addition, you can use the <tt>h</tt>, <tt>j</tt>, <tt>k</tt>, and <tt>l</tt>
|
|
commands to move the cursor left, down, up, and right, respectively.
|
|
This comes in handy when (for some reason) your arrow keys aren't working
|
|
correctly.
|
|
<P>
|
|
The <tt>w</tt> command moves the cursor to the beginning of the next word;
|
|
the <tt>b</tt> moves it to the beginning of the previous word.
|
|
<P>
|
|
The <tt>0</tt> (that's a zero) command moves the cursor to the beginning of
|
|
the current line, and the <tt>$</tt> command moves it to the end of the line.
|
|
<P>
|
|
When editing large files, you'll want to move forwards or backwards through
|
|
the file a screenful at a time. Pressing <IMG BORDER=0 ALIGN=BOTTOM ALT="" SRC="img230.gif"> moves the cursor
|
|
one screenful forward, and <IMG BORDER=0 ALIGN=BOTTOM ALT="" SRC="img231.gif"> moves it a screenful back.
|
|
<P>
|
|
In order to move the cursor to the end of the file, type <tt>G</tt>. You can
|
|
also move to an arbitrary line; for example, typing the command
|
|
<tt>10G</tt> would move the cursor to line 10 in the file. To move to the
|
|
beginning of the file, use <tt>1G</tt>.
|
|
<P>
|
|
You can couple moving commands with other commands, such as deletion.
|
|
For example, the command <tt>d$</tt> will delete everything from the
|
|
cursor to the end of the line; <tt>dG</tt> will delete everything from the
|
|
cursor to the end of the file, and so on.
