For navigating a buffer while editing text use the following.
Entity % Movement | Begin (Backward) | End (Forward) | Mark | Kill Or Cut |
---|---|---|---|---|
Character | [ C-b] | [ C-f] | [ C-@] | [ C-d] |
Word | [ M-b] | [ M-f] | [ M-@] | [ M-d] |
Line | [ C-a] | [ C-e] | [ C-k] | |
Sentence | [ M-a] | [ M-e] | [ M-k] | |
Paragraph | M-{ }} | [ M-} ] | [ M-h ] | [ M-h C-w] |
Page | [ C-x [ ] | [ C-x ] ] | [ C-x C-p] |
Notes
- Sentence
- By default Emacs expects two spaces between sentences. If you prefer to use a single space try M-x customize-variable RET sentence-end-double-space.
- Paragraph
- By default Emacs expects a blank line between paragraphs.
- Page
- In "*.el" files and other text files (for example the NEWS file, [C-h n]), text is divided into "pages" delimited by `^L' character. This character can be entered with [C-q C-l]
For navigating source code (see Programming languages) use the following.
Entity % Movement | Begin (Backward) | End (Forward) | Mark | Kill Or Cut | Up |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
sexp | [ C-M-b] | [ C-M-f] | [ C-M-@] | [ C-M-k] | [ C-M-u] |
defun | [ C-M-a] | [ C-M-e] | [ C-M-h] | [ C-M-h C-w] |
Notes
- sexp
- These are balanced expressions. For example, in C a block enclosed in a pair of {,} and in Lisp a pair of (, ).
- defun
- A Lisp function definition.
- subword
- The use of CamelCaseIdentifiers is common in some programming languages. You can enable subword-mode to use the standard word-based commands such as [M-f] and [M-b] to navigate subwords delimited by capital letters.
