2.4.3 Commands for Changing Text
--------------------------------
The following commands can be used for entering characters that would
otherwise have a special meaning (e.g., <TAB>, ‘C-q’, etc.), or for
quickly correcting typing mistakes.
‘C-q’
‘C-v’
Add the next character that you type to the line verbatim. This is
how to insert things like ‘C-q’ for example.
‘M-<TAB>’
Insert a tab character.
‘C-t’
Drag the character before the cursor forward over the character at
the cursor, also moving the cursor forward. If the cursor is at
the end of the line, then transpose the two characters before it.
‘M-t’
Drag the word behind the cursor past the word in front of the
cursor moving the cursor over that word as well.
‘M-u’
Uppercase the characters following the cursor to the end of the
current (or following) word, moving the cursor to the end of the
word.
‘M-l’
Lowercase the characters following the cursor to the end of the
current (or following) word, moving the cursor to the end of the
word.
‘M-c’
Uppercase the character following the cursor (or the beginning of
the next word if the cursor is between words), moving the cursor to
the end of the word.
