10.6 Word Change

At times you want to change a single word in you text, but continue to see the entire original word. For this, we have:

10.6.1 Change Word [Escape 8]

When you press [Esc][8] the text that the cursor is on from the current cursor position to the end of the word will be marked as a block (if you have an existing block marked, these marks will be removed).

Now, you can enter the new text. You will not be able to move the cursor into the highlighted area. Once you have the new word entered, press [Enter], or use the arrow keys to move up or down out of the line. At this point the highlighted text will be deleted.

Again, this is a command which is easier to try than to explain.
