Tree Oriented

The tree walking commands  are summarized in Table gif.

  
Table: Tree Motion Commands

UP, LEFT, RIGHT, DOWN-LEFT, DOWN-RIGHT are the basic walking commands. Within text slots, LEFT and RIGHT stop at each word. (Use screen motion commands to move by character.) These commands recognize text and term sequences, and skip over their internal structure.

RIGHT-LEAF, LEFT-LEAF, RIGHT-EMPTY-SLOT, LEFT-EMPTY-SLOT are particularly good for rapidly moving around terms, since you can often get where you want to go by just repeatedly using one of them. Note that the binding of RETURN to RIGHT-EMPTY-SLOT doesn't work in text sequences. In that case, you need to use C- RETURN  .
