Character
Moves the cursor one character at a time in the current direction of the
buffer -- either forward or reverse, as shown in the status line.
The Character key is similar to the Goto Character/horizontally/forward key
or the Goto Character/horizontally/reverse key except the cursor moves in the
direction in which your buffer is set.
Steps:
1. If necessary, set the direction you want the cursor to move.
2. Press the Character key.
In forward direction, the cursor moves right one character. If there
is no next character, the cursor moves to the start of the next line.
In reverse direction, the cursor moves left one character. If there
is no previous character, the cursor moves to the end of the previous line.
Command Equivalent:

Exit
Exit
Ends an LSE editing session and returns control to the calling process or the
VMS command language interpreter. The Exit key saves your edits in a new
file or a new version of an existing file.
When you press the Exit key, LSE saves (writes) the current buffer if it
has been modified. If there is no file specification for the buffer, that is,
if you invoked LSE or created the buffer without specifying an input file,
LSE asks for a file specification.
If you have modified other buffers and not yet saved them, LSE asks if you
want to write each of those buffers and, if necessary, asks for output
file specifications. LSE will not write out buffers with the READ_ONLY
attribute.

Fill
Reformats the current paragraph or selected range so that the maximum
number of words fits on a line according to the margins of the
buffer.
The selected range is the text between the select mark (see the SET
SELECT_MARK command) and the current cursor position. If you do not
provide a selected range, the Fill key reformats the current
paragraph. The current paragraph includes the text on all previous
and subsequent lines until LSE encounters a completely blank line, or
a line that contains only a Runoff command in a buffer that is not
associated with a language. LSE preserves any blank lines you insert
in the text.
The Fill key reformats a block of text so that as many complete
words as possible fit on each line without exceeding the right
margin. You can change the right margin with the SET RIGHT_MARGIN
command. Except in comments, pressing the Fill key indents the
reformatted text to the left margin setting.
When you press the Fill key, LSE treats spaces, tabs, and
carriage returns as word delimiters. LSE treats character sequences
as whole words if it recognizes such sequences as placeholders.
Steps:
1. Optionally, select the text you want to fill.
2. Press the Fill key.
Filling a range keeps blank lines and page breaks as paragraph
boundaries, which is useful if you select several paragraphs or the
entire buffer.
If the buffer is associated with a language, just the comment segments
of the lines in the selected range get filled.

Goto decl by context
Goto Declaration by Context
Displays the declaration for a symbol at the current cursor
position (or the text within the currently active selected range). SCA
determines which declaration to display by using the following criteria:
o If the indicated occurrence of the symbol is a reference, SCA
displays the declaration specified by the compiler as bound to that
occurrence of the symbol.
o If the indicated occurrence of the symbol is an associated
declaration, SCA displays the primary declaration.
o If the indicated occurrence of the symbol is a primary
declaration, LSE displays the associated declaration.
Command Equivalent:
GOTO DECLARATION/INDICATED/CONTEXT
Related Topics:

GOTO QUERY
GOTO SOURCE
Goto primary decl
Goto Primary Declaration
Displays the primary declaration for a symbol at the current cursor
position (or the text within the currently active selected range). LSE
displays the source code containing the symbol declaration in another
window and positions the cursor on the symbol declaration. If more than one
declaration is to be displayed, LSE creates a new query to list those
declarations.
Command Equivalent:
GOTO DECLARATION/INDICATED/PRIMARY
Related Topics:
FIND
GOTO QUERY
GOTO SOURCE
Goto Source
Goto Source
Displays the source corresponding to the current diagnostic or query
item. The Goto Source key has different actions depending on whether LSE
is in review or query mode. To display a query item, you must be using SCA.
Review Mode:
LSE selects the diagnostic at the current position in the $REVIEW
buffer and a region for which source display is desired. This
becomes the current diagnostic. LSE highlights the current
diagnostic and the current region, and displays in a second window
(with the region highlighted) the file containing the current region.
When a diagnostic is selected in this way, the buffer containing the
current region becomes the current buffer.
LSE may display a suggested error correction and prompt for a yes
(Y) or no (N) response; LSE makes the correction if you respond with
a yes.
Query Mode:
LSE selects the query item occurrence at the current position in the
current query buffer. This becomes the current query item. LSE
highlights the current query item and displays the file containing
the corresponding source for the current query item in a second
window. The buffer containing the source that corresponds to the
current query item becomes the current buffer.
Review and Query Modes:
If the source file corresponding to the current diagnostic region or
current query item is not in a buffer, LSE creates an unmodifiable
buffer and reads the source file specified in the diagnostics file or
SCA data file into that buffer. If it cannot find that file, LSE
uses the list of directories specified by the SET SOURCE_DIRECTORY
command to find the file. LSE uses CMS to access a file if the
directory for the file to be accessed is the same as the translation
of CMS$LIB.

Move Up
Move Up
Moves the cursor up one line at a time, as follows:
o If the cursor is free, it moves up in the same column.
o If the cursor is bound, it moves to the closest corresponding
position on the previous line. For example, from the end of a line
longer than the previous line, it moves to the end of the previous
line.
o If you are at the top of a buffer, the cursor does not move.

Open Line
Open Line
Breaks the line at your current position. Any text to the right of the
cursor is pushed down, starting a new line. The cursor does NOT move.
The Open Line key is useful for creating room to add text in the middle of a
line or paragraph, or for adding blank lines to make paragraphs for fill
operations.
Steps:
1. Put the cursor where you want to break the line.
2. Press the Open Line key (PF1-KP0).
The effect is similar to pressing the Return key except the cursor does not
move. Any existing text to the right and below the cursor is pushed down,
starting a new line at the current left margin.
If you want to insert a new line with the same indentation as the current
line, position the cursor to the beginning of the line, press the Open Line
key, and then press the Tab key.

Wildcard Find
Wildcard Find
Searches for a pattern of text by using wildcards, and highlights the
found text. You can use ULTRIX or VMS wildcards. (The examples that follow
are mainly for VMS, which is the default.) For a list of wildcards, use
the SHOW WILDCARD command.
Steps:
1. Use the SEARCH/PATTERN command.
2. Type the pattern you want to find. (See the examples that follow).
3. If you are using the menu item, click on OK in the dialog box to
start the search in the current direction of the buffer. If you
typed the command or pressed the key, press the Return key to start the
search in the current direction, or press a direction-setting key.
4. To find another occurrence of the same string, press the Find Next
key.
Examples:
b%t (VMS) Finds a B or b, followed by any single character and a
T or t, as in "batter," "bite," "butter," "rabbit," and
"robot." The percent sign (%) matches any single
character on a line. The ULTRIX equivalent is the
period (for example, b.t).
b*t Finds a B or b, followed by any number of characters
and a T or t, as in "blast," "bright," "be true," and
"by the" -- or the strings found by b%t. An asterisk
(*) matches any number of characters on a line.
b\[aeiou]t Finds a B or b, followed by a vowel and a T or t, as in
(VMS) "batch," "better," "rabbit," "robot," and "butter." The
backslash and square brackets match any character in
the bracketed set. The ULTRIX equivalent is the square
brackets only (for example, b[aeiou]t).
August**31 Finds "August 31" separated by any amount of text or
whitespace (tabs, spaces, line breaks). The two
asterisks (**) match any number of characters crossing
line breaks.
August\>\<31 Finds "August" at the end of a line followed by "31" at
(VMS) the start of the next line. A backslash and right
angle bracket (\>) match end-of-line; backslash and
left angle bracket (\<) match start-of-line. The
ULTRIX equivalent is the dollar sign and caret,
respectively (for example, August$^31).
1\D\% Finds a string like "12%" or "10%." A backslash and D
match any decimal digit; a backslash and percent (\%)
match an actual percent sign.
If the pattern is found in the opposite direction, LSE asks if you want
go there. If you want to go there, simply press the Return key; otherwise,
type No and press the Return key.
LSE highlights the found text, with the cursor at the beginning of the
string. You can then perform operations on the found text as on a
selected range:
Change case, such as the LOWERCASE WORD command or the EDT Chngcase key
Edit, such as the Copy, Remove, or EDT Append key
Reformat, with the FILL or FILL RANGE command
Substitute, such as the EDT Subs key
OPEN SELECTED, if you found a file name
To cancel the highlighting, move off the found range.
With VMS wildcards, use \L (for lowercase) or \U (for uppercase) to
make the entire search case-sensitive. Otherwise, case-sensitivity is
the same as with the FIND command.
Command Equivalent:
SEARCH/PATTERN

Word
Word
Moves the cursor to the first character of the current, next, or previous
word in the current buffer, depending on the direction specified.
If the current direction is forward, the cursor moves to the beginning of
the next word. If the current direction is reverse, the cursor moves
to the beginning of the current word; if the cursor is at the
beginning of a word, it moves to the beginning of the previous word.
A word consists only of identifier characters and trailing blanks and
can be delimited only by tabs or characters not specified in the
/IDENTIFIER_CHARACTERS qualifier on the DEFINE LANGUAGE command. LSE
also considers all nonblank, nonidentifier characters to be words.
