Table 3-1. Nonbanked CP/M 3 Line-editing Control Characters
Character Meaning
CTRL-E Forces a physical carriage return but does not send the command
line to CP/M 3. Moves the cursor to the beginning of the
next line without erasing your previous input.
CTRL-H Deletes a character and moves the cursor left one character
position.
CTRL-1 Moves the cursor to the next tab stop. Tab stops are automatically
set at each eighth column. Has the same effect as pressing
the TAB key.
CTRL-J Sends the command line to CP/M 3 and returns the cursor to
the left of the current line. Has the same effect as a RETURN
or a CTRL-M.
CTRL-M Sends the command line to CP/M 3 and returns the cursor to
the left of the current line. Has the same effect as a RETURN
or a CTRL-J.
CTRL-R Places a # at the current cursor location, moves the cursor to
the next line, and displays any partial command you typed so
far.
CTRL-U Discards all the characters in the command line, places a # at
the current cursor position, and moves the cursor to the next
command line.
CTRL-X Discards all the characters in the command line, and moves the
cursor to the beginning of the current line.
You probably noticed that some control characters have the same meaning. For
example, the CTRL-J and CTRL-M keystrokes have the same effect as pressing the
RETURN key; all three send the command line to CP/M 3 for processing. Also,
CTRL-H has the same effect as pressing the BACKSPACE key.
