(Changingtext file) (Text filechanging it) Every editing operation consists of two steps: (numbered) Moving the cursor to the point in your file where you want to perform an operation Performing that operation

(curs_chap) describes the KED function keys and commands you can use to move the cursor. This chapter describes the keys and commands you can use to: (UNNUMBERED) Delete and restore a character, word, or line of text (Sections (delchar_sec\VALUE), (delword_sec\VALUE), and (delline_sec\VALUE)) Insert a blank line ((open_sec)) Empty the paste buffer ((CLEAR_SEC)) Delete and restore a large section of text ((deletelarge_sec)) Insert a new section of text in multiple locations ((insertnew_sec)) Remove a section of text from one place in your file and insert it in another place ((cut_sec)) Replace a section of text with another section ((rep_sec)) Substitute a character string for multiple occurrences of another character string ((sub_sec)) Force alphabetic characters to uppercase or lowercase ((forcecase_sec)) Change alphabetic characters from uppercase to lowercase or lowercase to uppercase ((changecase_sec)) Repeat KED editing operations ((repeat_sec))

To perform those operations, you must begin your work session to create or edit a file. You cannot make any changes while inspecting a file. (Deleting and Restoring a Character\delchar_SEC)

(Deleting and restoringcharacter) (Characterdeleting and restoring) (Restoringcharacter) A character is any character in the ASCII set listed in (asci_ax), including the horizontal tab character, all line terminators, and all nonprinting characters.

To delete a character: (Keypad keysDELCHAR) (DELCHAR function) (FunctionsDELCHAR) (NUMBERED) Move the cursor to the character you want to delete. Press (DELCHAR).

KED deletes the character, stores it in a character buffer, and closes up the (Character buffer) (Bufferscharacter) resulting space.

Before: emulato(l)r

After: emulato(r)

If you move the cursor to the line terminator, KED deletes that terminator and moves the next line up to the end of the line that contained the terminator.

Before: emulator-( ) system function

After: emulator-(s)ystem function

You can also use the () (delete key) to delete a character as described in (writ_chap).

The deleted character remains in the character buffer until the next time you press (DELCHAR) or (), causing KED to store a new character in the buffer.

KED inserts the contents of the paste buffer (the text you deleted) at the point where the cursor is located and moves the cursor to the first character following the inserted text.

The size of the paste buffer depends on your operating system, the monitor (Paste buffer) (Bufferspaste) you are using, and the amount of memory in your system. The minimum size is 512 characters. If the paste buffer is too small to hold your selection, KED signals you, by sounding a beeper or reversing the text and background on your terminal, and does not perform the cut operation. If you press (HELP), KED displays: Select range too large for CUT

When the text you want to delete is too large for the paste buffer, you can use the CLEAR PASTE command and the SELECT and REPLACE (CLEAR PASTE command) (CommandsCLEAR PASTE) (Keypad keysSELECT) (SELECT function) (FunctionsSELECT) (Keypad keysREPLACE) (REPLACE function) (FunctionsREPLACE) functions instead of the SELECT and CUT functions. However, you cannot restore the deleted text unless you use a backup copy of your input file. (numbered) Empty the paste buffer as described in (CLEAR_SEC).

(Repeatingediting operations) (Editing operationsrepeating) You can repeat editing operations in three ways: (unnumbered) If your terminal has the autorepeat feature, continue pressing (hold down) the keypad or keyboard key that will give you the operation you want. Create and use a KED macro (a sequence of functions and commands) as described in (macro_chap). Use the GOLD number function as described below.

You can use the GOLD number function in the following procedures for all functions except delete, CTRL/U, or SPECINS. (Number function) (Functionsnumber) (GOLD number function) (FunctionsGOLD number) (When the Operation Must Be Specified After the GOLD Number Function:) (NUMBERED) Press (GOLD).

KED performs the operation the number of times you specified.

For example, to advance the cursor three sections: (simple) ((ADVANCE)) (GOLD) (3 (SECTION))

You can cancel a repeat operation while KED is performing it by pressing (CTRL/C). If KED is displaying its (Repeat:) prompt, press (ENTER). (When Part of the Operation Must Be Specified Before the GOLD Number Function:)

You can insert a character string a certain number of times by combining the SELECT, CUT, and PASTE functions ((insertnew_sec)) with the GOLD number function.

If you did not complete the work session example in (session_ax) to verify your installation, you should complete that example now, because it will help you review and summarize many of the operations you have learned so far.

After you complete the work session example, you should know enough about KED to make full use of the chapters remaining in this document. (unnumbered) (macro_chap) tells you how to use KED macros and command files to perform many editing operations in a more efficient manner. Chapters (copy_chap\value) and (insert_chap\value) tell you how to be more efficient by using auxiliary files to move text from one file to another. (anticipate_chap) tells you how to begin your work session so you can recover all or most of the work you performed in the event of a system crash or similar malfunction. (prog_chap) gives you three very useful operations for program development.
