CTRL-CURSOR RIGHT or CTRL-F Moves the cursor to the beginning of the next word. The next
word is defined as the next character to the right of the cursor in
the set A to Z or in the set 0 to 9. In other words, the cursor
moves to the next number or letter after a blank or other special
character.

CURSOR DOWN or CTRL-- Moves the cursor down one line on the screen.

CURSOR LEFT or CTRL-] Moves the cursor one position left. When the cursor is advanced
beyond the left edge of the screen, it will wrap to the right side
of the screen on the preceding line.

CURSOR RIGHT or CTRL-\ Moves the cursor one position right. When the cursor is
advanced beyond the right edge of the screen, it will wrap to the
left side of the screen on the following line.

CURSOR UP or CTRL-6 Moves the cursor up one line on the screen.

CTRL-BACKSPACE or DEL Deletes the character positioned over the cursor. All characters
to the right of the one deleted are then moved one position left to
fill in where the deletion was made.If a logical line extends
beyond one physical line, characters on subsequent lines are
moved left one position to fill in the previous space, and the
character in the first column of each subsequent line is moved up
to the end of the preceding line.DEL (delete) is the opposite of INS
(insert). Deleting text reduces logical line length.

CTRL-END or CTRL-E Erases from the cursor position to the end of the logical line. All
physical screen lines are erased until the terminating RETURN is
found.

CTRL-N or END Moves the cursor to the end of the logical line. Characters typed
from this position are added to the line.

CTRL-RETURN or CTRL-J Moves the cursor to the beginning of the next screen line. This
lets you create logical program lines which are longer than the
physical screen width. Logical lines may be up to 255 characters
long. This function may also be used as a line feed.

CTRL-M or RETURN Enters a line into the GW-BASIC program. It also moves the
cursor to the next logical line.

CTRL-[ or ESC Erases the entire logical line on which the cursor is located.
