Delete Word Deletes text from the current character to the start of the next word. The Delete Word key removes a word from the current buffer. You can terminate a word by using tabs or characters not specified in the /IDENTIFIER_CHARACTERS qualifier on the DEFINE LANGUAGE command. A word can consist of identifier characters and trailing blanks, or it can consist of a single nonblank, nonidentifier character. Example: The following shows the effects of the Delete Word key with four different cursor positions on a line: LSE stands for Language-Sensitive Editor. | | | | (1) (2)(3) (4) (1) On the first character of a word, deletes all of that word. In this case, deletes "stands" and the trailing spaces. (2) In the middle of a word, deletes to the end of the word. In this case, deletes "or" and the trailing spaces. (3) Between words, deletes the blanks from the cursor to the first non-blank character. In this case, deletes the spaces between "for" and "Language-Sensitive". (4) At the end of a line, deletes only the carriage return; the next line (if any) moves up. This is useful for deleting blank lines to form paragraphs for fill operations. To reinsert what you deleted, use the Undelete Word key. Command Equivalent: ERASE/TO WORD/FORWARD Related Topics: ERASE ERASE LINE ERASE WORD UNERASE UNERASE WORD
