Deleting
Just as there are several ways to move around in the buffer, there are several ways to
quickly delete unwanted information. The key or ^H can be used to delete the
character before the pointer. By using ^D you can delete the character at the pointer.
In addition, there are ways to delete words, lines and portions of lines. There are also
methods for blocking text and deleting entire sections of the buffer. For more information on
working with blocks of text, see Cutting and Pasting below.
Table 2-3 shows the various commands used to perform these functions.
