| Key | Action |
| Return | Insert mode: split line at current position
Overwrite mode: move to start to next line |
| Backspace | Delete previous character
Insert mode: rest of line shifts left Overwrite mode: rest of line unchanged At start of line, join line to previous line |
| Insert | Toggle insert/overwrite mode |
| Remove | Delete character at current cursor location, rest of line shifts left |
| ^N | Insert blank line above current line |
| ^D | Delete line at current cursor |
| ^R | Search and Replace |
| ^U | Undo changes to current line before you move cursor off the line |
In Search and Replace, Qedit asks you three pieces of information: the string to search for, the string to replace with, and the search options. The search options are the same as the ones in the Find String function, which is documented in the following section.
