Sometimes you may miss typing a character that you wanted to type, and not notice your error until you have typed several other characters. In that case, you can use C-B to move the cursor to the left, and then correct your mistake. Aftwerwards, you can move the cursor to the right with C-F.
When you add text in the
middle of a line, you will notice that characters to the right of the cursor
get ‘pushed over’ to make room for the text that you have inserted. Likewise,
when you delete text behind the cursor, characters to the right of the
cursor get ‘pulled back’ to fill in the blank space created by the removal
of the text. A list of the basic bare essentials for editing the text of
an input line follows.
