DO
vdelim DOWNSHIFT TO DELIMITER. Downshifts all characters starting at the position of
the v and ending at, but not including, the specified delimiter. If delim is not found,
no downshift occurs. You may follow this directive with other edits.
v> DOWNSHIFT TO EOL. Downshifts all characters starting from the position specified
by the v to the end of the current line. You may follow this directive with other
edits.
>text APPEND. The > followed by text appends the text to the end of the current line. If >
is positioned beyond the end of the current line, then a replacement is performed
instead.
>d DELETE FROM EOL. Deletes from the end of the current line, right-to-left. Multiple
d's may be specified after >, as well as INSERT and REPLACE strings.
>dw DELETE WORD FROM EOL. Deletes the last word in the command line. To find the
last word, trailing word delimiters are skipped. If no word exists in the command
line, then none is deleted. If you follow >dw with additional editing directives, each
edit is performed recursively. That is, the first edit is performed (updating the
current EOL), then the next edit is performed (again updating the current EOL),
and so on.
>ddelim DELETE TO DELIMITER FROM EOL. Starting at the end of the current line, deletes
all characters right-to-left up to, but not including, delim. If the delimiter is not
found, no delete occurs. If you follow this directive with additional editing
directives, each edit is performed recursively. That is, the first edit is performed
(updating the current EOL), then the next edit is performed (again updating the
current EOL), and so on.
>^ UPSHIFT FROM EOL. Upshifts the character at the current EOL. You may specify
multiple ^'s to upshift a series of characters (read right-to-left) from the EOL. Also,
you may follow this directive with other edits.
>^w UPSHIFT WORD FROM EOL. Upshifts the last word in the command line. You may
follow this directive with other edits.
>^delim UPSHIFT TO DELIMITER FROM EOL. Starting at the end of the current line,
upshifts all characters right-to-left up to, but not including, delim. If the delimiter is
not found, no upshift occurs. You may follow this directive with other edits.
>v DOWNSHIFT FROM EOL. Downshifts the character at the current EOL. You may
specify multiple v's to downshift a series of characters (read right-to-left) from the
EOL, and you may follow this directive with other edits.
>vw DOWNSHIFT WORD FROM EOL. Downshifts the last word in the command line. You
may follow this directive with other edits.
>vdelim DOWNSHIFT TO DELIMITER FROM EOL. Starting at the end of the current line,

is not found, no downshift occurs. You may follow this directive with other edits.
