) Move forward to the beginning of a sentence. If a count is specified, the cursor advances
the specified number of sentences (see
().
{ Move back to the beginning of the preceding paragraph. A paragraph is defined by the
value of the
paragraphs option. A completely empty line and a section boundary (see
[[ above) are also interpreted as the beginning of a paragraph. If a count is specified,
the cursor moves backward the specified number of paragraphs.
} Move forward to the beginning of the next paragraph. If a count is specified, the cursor
advances the specified number of paragraphs (see
{).
| Requires a preceding count; the cursor moves to the specified column of the current line
(if possible).
+ Move to the first nonwhitespace character in the next line. If a count is specified, the
cursor advances the specified number of lines (same as
ˆM).
, The comma (,) performs the reverse action of the last
f, F, t,orT command issued, by
searching in the opposite direction on the current line. If a count is specified, the cursor
repeats the search the specified number of times.
- The hyphen character (-) moves the cursor to the first nonwhitespace character in the
previous line. If a count is specified, the cursor moves back the specified number of
times.
_ The underscore character (_) moves the cursor to the first nonwhitespace character in
the current line. If a count is specified, the cursor advances the specified number of lines,
with the current line being counted as the first line; no count or a count of 1 specifies the
current line.
. Repeat the last command that changed the buffer. If a count is specified, the command is
repeated the specified number of times.
/ Read a string from the last line on the screen, interpret it as a regular expression, and
scan forward for the next occurrence of a matching string. The search begins when the
user types a carriage return to terminate the pattern; the search can be terminated by
sending
SIGINT (or the user-designated interrupt character).
When used with an operator to specify an extent of text, the defined region begins with
the current cursor position and ends at the beginning of the matched string. Entire lines
can be specified by giving an offset from the matched line (by using a closing
/ followed
by a
+n or -n).
0 Move to the first character on the current line (the 0 is not interpreted as a command
when preceded by a nonzero digit).
: The colon character (:) begins an ex command. The : and the entered command are
echoed on the bottom line; the ex command is executed when the user types a carriage
return.
; Repeat the last single character find using f, F, t,orT
.Ifacount is specified, the
search is repeated the specified number of times.
< An operator that shifts lines to the left by one shiftwidth . The < can be followed by a
move to specify lines. A preceding count is passed through to the move command.
When repeated (<<), shifts the current line (or count lines starting at the current one).
> An operator that shifts lines right one shiftwidth (see <).
= If the lisp option is set, = reindents the specified lines, as if they were typed in with
lisp and autoindent set. = can be preceded by a count to indicate how many lines
to process, or followed by a move command for the same purpose.
? Scan backwards, the reverse of / (see /).
@buffer Execute the commands stored in the named buffer. Be careful not to include a <return>
character at the end of the buffer contents unless the <return> is part of the command
stream. Commands to be executed in ex mode should be preceded by a colon (:).
~ The tilde (˜) switches the case of the character under the cursor (if it is a letter), then
moves one character to the right, stopping at the end of the line). A preceding count
