Editing Moreorless (section)

= Navigation in your document =

When editing text moving the cursor in all four directions is the most basic
function of an editor. As one would expect these commands are bound to the
cursor keys. The movement of the cursor in the document is limited by the
length of the current line and the overall size of the document. This means you
can not move the cursor beyond the last line of the document and the cursor is
moved to the next line if you press ''crsr-right'' at the end of the current
line. The current line and column number are shown on the bottom left of the
screen.

As one would expect pressing ''crsr up'' or ''crsr down'' at the top or the bottom
of the screen scrolls the contents of the currently visible section up or down.

When moving the cursor vertically moreorless attempts to keep the column number
constant. This may not be possible if the line above or below the current line
has fewer characters than the current line but moreorless remembers this column
number and places the cursor on that column again if a line is reached which
has enough characters. This feature allows to keep the cursor on a certain
indentation level when navigating the document even if there are lines which
are shorter than this indentation level.

When pressing ''clr home'' the cursor is placed at the beginning of the current
line and if you press ''Shift+clr home'' it is moved to the end of the current
line. 

Another possibility to move the cursor is to use ''Ctrl+crsr left'' and
''Ctrl+crsr right''. The commands bound to these keys move the cursor one word to
the left or the right, where a word is defined to be any string which does not
contain a space character.

The cursor can be moved a whole screen width up or down by pressing
''Foenix+crsr up'' or ''Foenix+crsr down''.

Finally the cursor can be moved to a specific line number by pressing
''Foenix+g''. The user is then prompted for a line number and after pressing
return the cursor is moved to the entered line number in such a way that this
line appears in the first line on the screen. This command can be aborted by
pressing return without entering a number or by entering an invalid line
number.

There are two other commands which do not move the cursor in the document but
the section of text which is visible on the screen. ''Ctrl+crsr up'' changes the
view in such a way that the current line is moved one line up in the visible
section. Correspondingly ''Ctrl+crsr down'' changes the view in such a way that
the current line is moved one line down. These commands do nothing if changing
the view would move the current line out of the visible section or if the view
already displays the first (in case of ''Ctrl+crsr down'') or the last (in case
of ''Ctrl+crsr up'') line of the document.
