Man of the text navigation commands do NOT have a menu entry. Is it a deliberate decision? If not, can the situation be changed. | The most basic buffer movement commands move point (the cursor) by | rows (lines) or columns (characters): | | | C-f Forward one character C-b Back one character | C-n Next line C-p Previous line | | | Here are some ways to move around in larger increments: | | C-a Beginning of line C-e End of line | M-f Forward one word M-b Back one word | M-a Previous sentence M-e Next sentence | M-v Previous screen C-v Next screen | M-< Beginning of buffer M-> End of buffer To the above list, I will also add paragraph and page navigation commands.
