Introduction
Qedit operates in Line mode or Visual mode, depending upon the type of terminal. The same commands are used in both modes. In Line mode, you do everything with commands. In Visual mode, you do most editing with built-in functions of your terminal, but use commands for some things. Line mode commands work in Visual mode, and Visual mode function keys work in Line mode.
Here we describe the Qedit commands in alphabetic order. For each command, we show both the longest and the shortest name that Qedit can recognize, as in Add [A]. Highlighted terms (e.g., linenum) and jargon words (e.g., “workfile”) are defined in the “Glossary“. The Visual command is described only briefly in this section: see the chapter “Getting A Quick Start with Full-Screen Editing” for full details.
