2 EDITOR COMMANDS
LW's commands are all accessed by key combinations. Once you become familiar
with LW's keystrokes, a huge number of commands becomes instantly available.
2.1 CURSOR MOVEMENT
The following commands allow rapid cursor movement around the text:
<CTRL+LEFT ARROW>
Cursor left
<CTRL+RIGHT ARROW> Cursor right
<CTRL+UP ARROW> Cursor up
<CTRL+DOWN ARROW> Cursor down
<Tab> Next tab stop (if in Over-Type Mode)
<CTRL+A> Start of line
<CTRL+Z> End of line
<SHIFT+LEFT ARROW> Previous start of word
<SHIFT+RIGHT ARROW> Start of next word
<SHIFT+UP ARROW> Previous start of paragraph
<SHIFT+DOWN ARROW> Start of next paragraph
<SHIFT+CTRL+UP ARROW> Screen up
<SHIFT+CTRL+DOWN>
Screen down
<CTRL+H or START> Top of screen, then top of file
<CTRL+E> End of file
2.2 TEXT ENTRY MODES
These commands affect various setting in the editor:
<SHIFT+CTRL+INS> Toggle Insert and Over-type modes. In Insert mode, text after
the cursor is pushed along as you type, and closes up when
you press <DELETE>. In Over-type mode, new text
overwrites existing text. Notice that the operation of the
<TAB> key differs depending on which mode the editor is in:
in Over-type mode, the <TAB> key simply skips to the next
tab stop, whereas in Insert mode, <TAB> inserts spaces up to
the next tab stop.
<CAPS>
Toggle upper/lowercase.
<CTRL+CAPS>
Forced control key mode toggle. Allows entry of control codes
without pressing <CTRL+ESCAPE> or <SHIFT+ESC> first.
The current case is saved when you save the configuration
(see later), and becomes the default next time you load the
program.
<SHIFT+CAPS>
Uppercase lock.
<INVERSE>
Toggle inverse video on and off.
