2.9.4 Change Commands
---------------------
Most commonly used change command takes the following form.
‘c MOTION-COMMAND’
Replace the content of the region determined by the motion command
MOTION-COMMAND by the text you type. If the motion command is a
point command then you will type the text into minibuffer, and if
the motion command is a line command then the region will be
deleted first and you can insert the text in INSERT MODE.
For example, if point is at the beginning of a word ‘foo’ and you wish
to change it to ‘bar’, you can type ‘c w’. Then, as ‘w’ is a point
command, you will get the prompt ‘foo =>’ in the minibuffer, for which
you can type ‘b a r <RET>’ to complete the change command.
‘c c’
Change a line. Given a count, that many lines are changed.
‘c r’
Change current region.
‘c R’
Expand current region and change it.
