But you left out THE ABSOLUTE most important feature "OOPS" George -----Original Message----- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Charles Stevenson Sent: Thursday, February 06, 2014 4:49 AM To: U2 Users List Subject: [U2] "ED: The very finest of 1970s technology!" was: UniVerse Dictionary question & it's been that way for, oh I dunno, going back to PI, 30+ years? That's in input mode. Here are some related ED facts about edit-mode that I've found Pickies (vs. Primates) don't seem to know: R<space> <enter> replaces current line with a blank line. I<space>this is some text<enter> will insert a line "this is some text"but leave yoiu in edit-mode, not insert-mode. IB will put you in input mode BEFORE the line you're on. IB<space>this is a some text<enter> will insert a line "this is some text" BEFORE the current line but leave yoiu in edit-mode, not insert-mode. There is a bit of an inconsistency with IB: IB<space><space><enter> Inserts a blank line BEFORE current line. I don't know why 2 spaces are needed. Oh, well. R<enter> repeats the previous full-line Replacement C<enter> repeats the previous Change command. R this is some text<enter> replaces thw whole line. R/ABC/XYZ is really C/ABC/XYZ So if you pickies are used to saying R/ABC/XYZ/ That is really a Change command, C/ABC/XYZ. So subsequent C<enter> will repeat your R/ABC/XYZ/ Finally, there is the actually helpful HELP<enter> command. (Check out HELP SEQ<enter>.)
