If you've chosen `EDT Bindings' on the jstools Global Preferences panel, you can use the following keyboard commands to edit text (in large text windows, and also in oneline text fields, except as noted):
Note:
Only EDT keypad mode is (partially) implemented
* Keycodes used are the one of DECs lk20? or lk40? keyboards.
Backspace (BackSpace) - deletes the character before the insertion point
Control-h () - goto begin of current line or if already there to previous/next begin of line if already at begin of line

GOLD (KP_F1) - modify the binding of the next keystroke (see lower command
on the keypad above)
DEL L (KP_F4) - delete from insertion point up to end of line (including newline)
UNDEL L (KP_F4) - insert the characters deleted with the last 'DEL L' or 'DEL EOL' command (7)
DEL W (KP_Subtract) - delete the next word to the right
ADVANCE (KP_4) - set the current direction of movements to forward
BOTTOM (KP_4) - goto the end of the file (2) (7)
BACKUP (KP_5) - set the direction of movements to backward
TOP (KP_5) - goto the beginning of the file (2) (7)
PASTE (KP_6) - insert contents of the EDTs multiline buffer at the insert point (3)
DEL C (KP_Separator) - delete character to the right
UNDEL C (KP_Separator) - insert the character deleted with the last 'DEL C' command (7)
WORD (KP_1) - move one word in current direction
EOL (KP_2) - goto end of current line or if already next end of line in the current direction (6)
DEL EOL (KP_2) - delete all characters up to the end of line (excluding the newline) (7)
CHAR (KP_3) - move one character in current direction
LINE (KP_0) - goto begin of current line or if already there to next begin of line in the current direction (4)
LEFT (Left) and RIGHT (Right) - move the insert point one character left or right
UP (Up) and
DOWN (Down) - move the insert point one line up or down
(1)
(5)
(2) In entry widget line changes in forward direcection translate to 'end of line' and in backward direction 'begin of line'.
(3) No command exists to fill the buffer! Therefore useless.
(4) in standard EDT LINE is almost the same as Control-h. In this emulation it is the same!
(5) Cursor does not try to preserve its initial x-offset
(6) not fully EDT compliant
(7) when preceded by GOLD key (KP_F1)
RESET - cancel the EDTs selection without deleting it
PASTE - insert the contents of EDTs selections buffer at the current
insert point
REPLACE - exchange the EDTs selection with the contents of the EDTs
selection buffer
APPEND - append EDTs selection to the contents of EDTs selection buffer
CUT - delete current EDT selection and save it in the EDTs selection
buffer
FIND - ask user for a search to search in current direction. No
wrap at end/begin of file. String input terminated by KP_Enter
(optional (nonstandard) by Return?). Standard is an exact search
(optional with regexp?)
FINDNXT - search next occurence of search string in forward/backward
direction
CHNGCASE - change case of character at insert point or if EDTs current selection exists all chracter in it
HELP - Show keyboard layout with bindings and show help for the command that is bound to the key when the user presses the key. Exit help mode with 'space'
SECT - scroll up 2/3 of screen height in current direction (orig.
EDT 16 line)
SECT UP - scroll up 2/3 of screen height in forward direction (orig.
EDT 16 line)
SECT DWN - scroll down 2/3 of screen height in backward direction (orig.
EDT 16 line)
PAGE - goto the next page delimiter (default: formfeed)
