Navigation, Cursor Movement and Shortcuts

The CLI contains a simple text editor with these functions:

Command Syntax

Commands are not case-sensitive. That is, uppercase and lowercase characters may
be interchanged freely.

Command Abbreviations

All commands and parameters in the CLI can be truncated to an abbreviation of any
length, as long as the abbreviation is not ambiguous. For example, version can
be abbreviated ver.
For ambiguous commands, type the beginning letters on the command line and
then use the Tab key to toggle through all the possible commands beginning with
these letters.
