Edit in Line Mode or in Full-Screen Mode
Initially you are in Line mode (you type command and text lines, ending each with Return). You can backspace over errors with Control-H (holding down Control while you press “H”), or use the Backspace key. Control-X cancels a line. The function keys give you eight quick functions: F1 = Visual, F2 = Roll up, F3 = Findup, F4 = Find, F5 = Browse backward one page, F6 = Browse forward, F7 = Listredo, and F8 = Exit.
Use the /VIsual command or the F1 key to switch to full-screen mode, where you edit a full screen of text using the terminal keys. The Enter key passes the revised screen back to Qedit, and the F7 key executes any Line command that you type on the home line.
To return from full-screen mode to Line mode, press the F8 key. To save changes to your Text file, use the Keep command. To get out of Qedit, type Exit or press F8 again.
/keep /exit End of program
If you forget to Keep your changes, Qedit warns that your changes weren’t saved, you can rerun Qedit, reopen the temporary workfile (Open with no parameters), and save your changes.
