When the cursor is far enough from the end or beginning of your file, KED (WORKING... message) (MessagesWORKING...) temporarily displays the message (WORKING...) to let you know that nothing is wrong and that the cursor is still moving. (Moving Directly to Any Point in Your Text File\DIRECT_SEC)

(Moving toany point in text file) (Text filemoving to any point in) KED gives you a search operation that can move the cursor directly to any point in your text file.

(Keypad keysFIND) (FIND function) (FunctionsFIND) To start your search: (NUMBERED) Press (GOLD) and (FIND).

KED displays its model prompt. (Model: ) Type the character string you are looking for. It can be up to 60 characters long and can contain any printing character or any line terminator.

You can press () (the delete key) or (CTRL/U) to correct any typing errors. If you press (CTRL/C), KED deletes (Keyboard keysCTRL/C) (CTRL/C function) (FunctionsCTRL/C) its model prompt and your character string and restores the screen display. Press one of the following keys: (simple) (ADVANCE) or (BACKUP) to enter your search model, specify your (Keypad keysADVANCE) (ADVANCE function) (FunctionsADVANCE) (Keypad keysBACKUP) (BACKUP function) (FunctionsBACKUP) search direction, and start the search. (ENTER) to enter your search model without starting the search. You (Keypad keysENTER) (ENTER function) (FunctionsENTER) must press (FINDNEXT) to start the search. ( (uparrow) ) to enter your search model and search backward (Up-arrow keyboard key) (Keyboard keysup arrow) (Up-arrow function) (Functionsup arrow) without changing the keypad directional mode. ( (downarrow) ) to enter your search model and search (Down-arrow keyboard key) (Keyboard keysdown arrow) (Down-arrow function) (Functionsdown arrow) forward without changing the keypad directional mode.

KED places your character string in a search buffer, and then searches forward or backward from the current location of the cursor to the end or the beginning of your file. When the cursor is far enough from your character string, KED temporarily displays the message (WORKING...) to let you know that nothing is wrong and that the cursor is still moving.

In other words: (simple) ((GOLD) (FIND)) (character-string (ADVANCE)) or ((GOLD) (FIND)) (character-string (BACKUP)) or ((GOLD) (FIND)) (character-string (ENTER)) or ((GOLD) (FIND)) (character-string (FINDNEXT)) or ((GOLD) (FIND)) (character-string ((uparrow))) or ((GOLD) (FIND)) (character-string ( (downarrow)))

To continue your search or to start a search after pressing (ENTER), press (FINDNEXT). (Keypad keysFINDNEXT) (FINDNEXT function) (FunctionsFINDNEXT) (UNNUMBERED) If you are at the end of your file or page, press (BACKUP) and (FINDNEXT). If you are at the beginning of your file or page, press (ADVANCE) and (FINDNEXT).

If KED finds your character string, it moves the cursor to the first character in that string. If KED does not find your character string, it signals you by sounding a beeper or reversing the text and background on your terminal. If you press (HELP), KED displays: Target not found

If you press (GOLD) and (FIND) and then decide you do not want to (Keypad keysENTER) (ENTER function) (FunctionsENTER) look for a character string, press (ENTER). KED will respond by deleting its model prompt. (Distinguishing Between Uppercase and Lowercase Letters\CASE_SEC)

(Moving toany point in text filedistinguishing between uppercase and lowercase letters) (Text filemoving to any point indistinguishing between uppercase and lowercase letters) (Uppercase and lowercase letters, distinguishing between) (Lowercase and uppercase letters, distinguishing between) (Letterslowercase and uppercasedistinguishing between) By default, KED does not distinguish between uppercase and lowercase letters. For example, (SYMBOL) is the same as (Symbol) or (symbol).

To set KED so it will distinguish between uppercase and lowercase letters: (SET SEARCH EXACT command) (CommandsSET SEARCH EXACT) (NUMBERED) Press (GOLD) and (COMMAND). In response to the command prompt, type: (SET [SEARCH] EXACT) Press (ENTER).

KED will now distinguish between uppercase and lowercase letters. For example, (SYMBOL), (Symbol), (symbol) are now three different character strings.

In other words: (simple) ((GOLD) (COMMAND)) (SET EXACT (ENTER))

Then, start your search as described in (direct_sec).

To reset KED to its default: (simple) (SET SEARCH GENERAL command) (CommandsSET SEARCH GENERAL) ((GOLD) (COMMAND)) (SET GENERAL (ENTER))

KED will no longer distinguish between uppercase and lowercase letters. (Moving to the End of Your Search String)

(Moving toany point in text filemoving to end of search string) (Text filemoving to any point inmoving to end of search string) (Moving toend of search string) (End of search string, moving to) (Search string, moving to end) By default, KED moves the cursor to the first character of the string it finds.

KED will now move the cursor to the right of the last character of the string it finds.

In other words: (simple) ((GOLD) (COMMAND)) (SET END (ENTER))

Then, start your search as described in (direct_sec).

To reset KED to its default: (simple) (SET SEARCH BEGIN command) (CommandsSET SEARCH BEGIN) ((GOLD) (COMMAND)) (SET BEGIN (ENTER))

KED will now move the cursor to the first character of the string it finds. (Limiting the Area of Your Search\limitarea_sec)

(Moving toany point in text filelimiting area of search) (Text filemoving to any point inlimiting area of search) (Limiting area of search) (Area of search, limiting) (Search, limiting area) By default, KED continues a search to the end or beginning of your file.

To limit your search to the current page of text: (SET SEARCH BOUNDED command) (CommandsSET SEARCH BOUNDED) (NUMBERED) Press (GOLD) and (COMMAND). In response to the command prompt, type: (SET [SEARCH] BOUNDED) Press (ENTER).

KED will now limit its search to the current page. By default, that page is all the text between the cursor and the next form-feed character. You may have used the SET ENTITY PAGE command to specify that page as a certain number of lines of text ((secpaglines_sec)) or as all the text between the cursor and a marker ((secpagmark_sec)).

In other words: (simple) ((GOLD) (COMMAND)) (SET BOUNDED (ENTER))

Then, start your search as described in (direct_sec). (unnumbered) If you start your search by pressing (ADVANCE), KED searches to the (Keypad keysADVANCE) (ADVANCE function) (FunctionsADVANCE) end of the page. If you start your search by pressing (BACKUP), KED searches to the (Keypad keysBACKUP) (BACKUP function) (FunctionsBACKUP) beginning of the page. If KED does not find your search string on the current page, it signals you by sounding a beeper or reversing the text and background on your terminal. If you press (HELP), KED displays: Bounded search reached bound

To reset KED to its default: (simple) (SET SEARCH UNBOUNDED command) (CommandsSET SEARCH UNBOUNDED) (GOLD) (COMMAND) (SET UNBOUNDED) (ENTER) (Controlling Cursor Movement When Search String Is Not Found)

By default, the cursor remains in its current position when your search string is not found.

To set KED so it will move the cursor to the end or beginning of your file when your search string is not found: (SET SEARCH NORETURN command) (CommandsSET SEARCH NORETURN) (NUMBERED) Press (GOLD) and (COMMAND). In response to the command prompt, type: (SET [SEARCH] NORETURN) Press (ENTER).

KED will now move the cursor to the end or beginning of your file when your search string is not found.

In other words: (simple) ((GOLD) (COMMAND)) (SET NORETURN (ENTER))

Then, start your search as described in (direct_sec).

To reset KED to its default: (simple) (SET SEARCH RETURN command) (CommandsSET SEARCH RETURN) ((GOLD) (COMMAND)) (SET RETURN (ENTER)) (What Next?)

Now that you know how to move the cursor to any point in your text file, you can make all the many useful changes described in (edit_chap). That chapter shows you how to: (simple) Delete and restore a character. Delete and restore a word. Delete and restore a line of text. Insert a blank line. Delete a large section of text. Insert a new section of text in multiple locations. Remove a section of text from one place in your file and insert it in another place. Empty the paste buffer. Replace a section of text with another section. Substitute a character string for multiple occurrences of another character string. Change alphabetic characters from uppercase to lowercase or lowercase to uppercase. Repeat KED editing operations.
