Shift End Of Line Right
Purpose
Shifts a selected portion of text on a line to the right.
Default Syntax
[n] ESC >
where n is a count that represents the number of lines to shift to the
right. The default value of n is 1.
Description
This command shifts a portion of text on a line or lines a predetermined
number of columns to the right.
Shift Count
The number of columns shifted is determined by the position of the cursor
when you execute the command as well as the Shift Count variable, which
has a default value of 1. You can alter this variable by executing the
Set Options command and changing the value of the Shift Count field. The
non-default value you provide for this field only affects the current
session. You can save this new default for other subsequent sessions, if
desired, by using the Save Config File command.
Requirements
In order for this command to function properly, the number of blank
columns at the end of the line must be equal to or greater than the shift
count variable. For example, the command has no effect when invoked if
the text of the line to be shifted ends in the last column.
