-
- <p>In order to enter characters into the line, simply type them. The typed
- character appears where the cursor was, and then the cursor moves one
- space to the right. If you mistype a character, you can use your
- erase character to back up and delete the mistyped character.
- </p>
- <p>Sometimes you may mistype a character, and
- not notice the error until you have typed several other characters. In
- that case, you can type <kbd>C-b</kbd> to move the cursor to the left, and then
- correct your mistake. Afterwards, you can move the cursor to the right
- with <kbd>C-f</kbd>.
- </p>
- <p>When you add text in the middle of a line, you will notice that characters
- to the right of the cursor are ‘pushed over’ to make room for the text
- that you have inserted. Likewise, when you delete text behind the cursor,
- characters to the right of the cursor are ‘pulled back’ to fill in the
- blank space created by the removal of the text. A list of the bare
- essentials for editing the text of an input line follows.

- <dt><kbd>C-b</kbd></dt>
- <dd><p>Move back one character.

- <dt><tt class="key">DEL</tt> or <tt class="key">Backspace</tt></dt>
- <dd><p>Delete the character to the left of the cursor.

- <dt>Printing characters<!-- /@w --></dt>
- <dd><p>Insert the character into the line at the cursor.
- </p></dd>
- <dt><kbd>C-_</kbd> or <kbd>C-x C-u</kbd></dt>
- <dd><p>Undo the last editing command. You can undo all the way back to an
- empty line.
- </p></dd>
- </dl>
-
- <p>(Depending on your configuration, the <tt class="key">Backspace</tt> key be set to
- delete the character to the left of the cursor and the <tt class="key">DEL</tt> key set
- to delete the character underneath the cursor, like <kbd>C-d</kbd>, rather
- than the character to the left of the cursor.)
