(backward-word ARG) Move backward until encountering the beginning of a word. With argument, do this that many times. M-c: M-c runs the command capitalize-word (capitalize-word ARG) which is an interactive built-in function. Capitalize the following word (or ARG words), moving over. This gives the word(s) a first character in upper case and the rest lower case. With negative argument, capitalize previous words but do not move. C-v: C-v runs the command scroll-up (scroll-up &optional ARG) which is an interactive built-in function. Scroll text of current window upward ARG lines; or near full screen if no \ ARG. A near full screen is `next-screen-context-lines' less than a full screen. Negative ARG means scroll downward. If ARG is the atom `-', scroll downward by nearly full screen. When calling from a program, supply as argument a number, nil, or `-'. C-c: - waits for further input ?: ? runs the command self-insert-command (self-insert-command N) which is an interactive built-in function. Insert the character you type. Whichever character you type to run this command is inserted.
