TAB TAB moves the cursor one tab stop to the right.
What to Enter
[ repeat-count ] { TAB | TA }
repeat-count
is the number of times to repeat this command. See “Repeat Count” in
Section 2 for details.
Examples:
1. To move the cursor one tab stop to the left, enter:
Command: TAB
2. To move the cursor three tab stops to the left, use a repeat count; then
enter:
Command: 3 TAB
How to Use
You can use this command in two ways:
1. Stop at each tab stop—every time you want to move to a new tab stop,
give the TAB command. (In TEDIT, the terminal’s TAB and BACKTAB
keys do not work as tab keys.)
2. Skip tabs—enter the TAB command on the command line, preceded by
a repeat count.
