Getting a Quick Start with HP Full-Screen Editing - Browsing Through Your File

Browsing Through Your File

Line Number. Move to a specific line (e.g., to line 45).

===>45 F7

> and <. Move ahead or back a page. Use with a number to move several pages (e.g., ahead 3 pages).

===>>3 F7

+ and -. Move forward or backward any number of lines (e.g., back 200 lines). If you do not specify a number, the default is the number of lines configured by Set Vis Roll.

===>-200 F7

~ The Tilde Key. Return to the "most recent" screen. If you jump from line 1500 to line 451, ~ sends you back to 1500. This is handy if you jump briefly to another part of your file to check something then want to get back to your original location.

The tilde is also available from line-mode but it has to be enabled by removing it from the list of string delimiters. In order to do this, you could do the following:

/V stringd
Set STRINGDelimiters "|\~{}[]_@?!#>%&:'"
/S stringd "|\{}[]_@?!#>%&:'"

Notice that tilde has been removed from the delimiter list entered on the Set command.

===>~ F7

FIRST and LAST. Move to start or end of file.

===>first F7

Scrollup Character. This character can be entered in the cut-and-paste columns to scroll up in the file. A single character scrolls the number of lines defined by Set Visual Roll. If the character is entered more than once, Qedit scrolls up that many times the number of Roll lines. For example, enter 4 minus signs anywhere to scroll 4 X Roll lines. The default scrollup character is a minus sign. It can be changed to something else with Set Visual Scrollup.
