Tips
TAB also moves text to the left when the cursor moves to a tab stop
beyond the last column currently displayed on the screen.
If you are frequently using LEFTSCROLL and RIGHTSCROLL to enter
or edit text to the left or right of the window you are viewing, use TAB,
BACKTAB, and NEWLINE to move text into the window. You can
reset tab stops with RECONFIGURE OPTIONS.
If you use both repeat-count and number, the number of columns TEDIT
moves text is the result of multiplying number by the repeat-count. For
example:
Command: 2 LEFTSCROLL 4
TEDIT moves text eight columns to the left (2 times 4).
The status line shows the number of columns displayed in the window
(for example, 1:79).
Use RIGHTSCROLL to reverse LEFTSCROLL.
The columns that LEFTSCROLL displays do not require characters.
LEFTSCROLL operates only in the window containing the cursor.
