Editing with jed is pretty easy-- most keys simply insert themselves.
Movement around the buffer is usually done using the arrow keys or page up
and page down keys. If edt.sl
is loaded, the keypads on VTxxx
terminals function as well. Here, only the highlights are touched upon
(cut/paste operations are not considered ``highlights''). In the
following, any character prefixed by the ^
character denotes a
Control character. On keyboards without an explicit Escape key,
CTRL-[ will most likely generate and Escape character.
A ``prefix argument'' to a command may be generated by first hitting the ESC key, then entering the number followed by pressing the desired key. Normally, the prefix argument is used simply for repetition. For example, to move to the right 40 characters, one would press ESC 4 0 followed immediately by the right arrow key. This illustrates the use of the repeat argument for repetition. However, the prefix argument may be used in other ways as well. For example, to begin defining a region, one would press the CTRL-@ key. This sets the mark and begins highlighting. Pressing the CTRL-@ key with a prefix argument will abort the act of defining the region and to pop the mark.
