^Z or [Pg Up] Scroll up M-> or <END> End of file
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
=> (1) MOVING THE CURSOR
^F Forward character M-F Forward word
^B Backward character M-B Backward word
^A Front of line M-G Goto a line
^E End of line
^N Next line M-N Front of paragraph
^P Previous line M-P End of paragraph
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
=> (1a) MORE MOVING ABOUT
Forward Char Backward Char CURSOR KEYS

=> (2) DELETING & INSERTING
<-- Delete previous character
^D or <DELETE> Delete next character
^C or <INSERT> Insert a space
M-<-- Delete previous word

^W Delete region between mark (set using M-<spacebar>) and cursor
M-W Copy region to kill buffer
^X ^O Delete blank lines around cursor
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
=> (3) SEARCHING
^S Search forward from cursor position.
^R Reverse search from cursor position.
^X S Forward incremental search
^X R Reverse incremental search
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
=> (4) REPLACING
M-R Replace all instances of first typed-in string with second
typed-in string. End each string with ESC.

^X ^L lowercase region

2) Delete it (with ^W) or copy it (with M-W) into the KILL buffer.
3) Move the cursor to the desired location and yank it back (with ^Y).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
=> (8) MODES OF OPERATION
^X M Add mode in buffer M-M Add global mode
^X ^M Delete mode in buffer M-^M Delete global mode
OVER Replaces (overwrites) rather than inserts characters
WRAP Turns on word wrap (automatic carraige return).
VIEW Allows viewing file without insertion and deletion.
CMODE Automatic indenting for C program entry
EXACT/MAGIC Changes how search and replace commands work (see next page)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
=> (9) SEARCH AND REPLACE MODES
EXACT Uppper/lower case is not ignored in searches
MAGIC Regular pattern matching characters are active
