4.8.3 Editing Command Lines That Wrap
The enhanced editing feature provides a wraparound for commands that extend beyond a single line on the screen.
When the cursor reaches the right margin, the command line shifts eight spaces to the left. You cannot see the first
eight characters of the line, but you can scroll back and check the syntax at the beginning of the command. To scroll
back, use the following command:
Keystrokes Purpose
Press Ctrl-B or the left arrow repeatedly until you scroll
back to the beginning of the command entry, or press
Ctrl-A to return directly to the beginning of the line.
Return to the beginning of a command line to verify
that you have correctly entered a lengthy command.
Note: The arrow keys function only on ANSI-compatible terminals such as VT100.
In the following example, the access-list command entry extends beyond one line. When the cursor first reaches the
end of the line, the line is shifted eight spaces to the left and redisplayed. The dollar sign ($) indicates that the line
has been scrolled to the left. Each time the cursor reaches the end of the line, it is again shifted eight spaces to the
left.
