Moving Around in The File HP EDIT provides numerous commands that enable you to move the cursor and scroll the text within the window. You can also use several terminal keys to move the cursor. Moving The Cursor Several commands enable you to move and position the cursor within the text window or anywhere in the file. Commands range from those that move the cursor forward and backward a character to those that move the cursor to the top or bottom of the file. You can precede most of these commands with a count to specify a particular range of movement. In addition to these commands, you can use the four cursor arrow keys to move the cursor while in Command or Text Entry modes. Refer to "Cursor And Window Movement Commands" in chapter 3 for a list and definition of all cursor movement commands. Scrolling [REV BEG] You can scroll the screen any number of lines forward or backward. You can also scroll the screen any number of columns left or right. Scrolling forward moves the cursor toward the bottom of the file. Conversely, scrolling backward moves the cursor toward the top of the file. Scrolling left moves the cursor toward the left margin; scrolling right moves the cursor toward the right margin.[REV END] By default, the screen scrolls 20 lines at a time. However, you can change the scroll size by specifying a count before issuing one of the scroll commands. Subsequent scrolls [REV BEG]in the same session[REV END] retain this value. You can also adjust the default scroll size by changing the Scroll Size parameter of the Set Options screen. Refer to "Cursor And Window Movement Commands" in chapter 3 for a list and definition of all scrolling commands. Using Tabs In Command mode, the terminal Tab key is assigned to the Tab command by default, which moves the cursor to the next tab stop. In Text Entry mode, the terminal Tab key moves the cursor to the next tab stop, regardless of the key assigned to the Tab command. You can also use the Backtab key to move the cursor to the previous tab stop. Tabs are preset at intervals of five spaces, but you can alter this value by changing the Tab Spacing parameter of the Set Options screen.
NOTE You should not set hardware tabs on the terminal. HP EDIT controls the setting and clearing of tabs programatically.
