NOTE: In this description, ^A means the character formed
by typing the letter “A” while holding down the control key.
Delete (0x7F) or
Backspace (0x08)
erases the character to the left of the cursor.
^A or HOME
moves the cursor (insertion point) to the beginning of the line.
^K
erases all characters on the line from the cursor to the end.
^E or END
positions the cursor to the end of the line.
^D or DELETE
erases the character under the cursor.
^F or RIGHT-ARROW
moves the cursor one character to the right.
^B or LEFT-ARROW
moves the cursor one character to the left.
^P or UP-ARROW
replaces the current line by a previous line from the history buffer.
A small number of lines
can be kept as history. Using ^P (and ^N), the current line can be replaced
by any one of the previously typed lines.
^N or DOWN-ARROW
replaces the current line by the next line from the history buffer.
In the case of the fconfig
command, additional editing commands are possible.
As data are entered for this command, the current/previous value
will be displayed and the cursor placed at the end of that data.
The user may use the editing keys (above) to move around in the data
to modify it as appropriate.
Additionally, when certain
characters are entered at the end of the current value,
i.e. entered separately, certain behavior is elicited.
^ (caret) switch to editing the previous item in the
fconfig list. If fconfig edits item A, followed by item B,
pressing ^ when changing item B, allows you to change item A. This is similar
to the up arrow.
Note: ^P and ^N do not have the same meaning while editing
fconfig data and should not be used.
. (period) stop editing any further items. This does not change
the current item.
Return leaves the value
for this item unchanged. Currently it is not possible to step through the
value for the start-up script; it must always be retyped.
