Movement can also be accomplished a word or a page at a time. This is accomplished by
referring to Table 2-2.
Deleting
Just as there are several ways to move around in the buffer, there are several ways to
quickly delete unwanted information. The
key or
^H
can be used to delete the
character before the pointer. By using
^D
you can delete the character at the pointer.
In addition, there are ways to delete words, lines and portions of lines. There are also
methods for blocking text and deleting entire sections of the buffer. For more information on
working with blocks of text, see
Cutting and Pasting
below.
