 4.2.3 Appending Text
 --------------------
 
 SeeOptions, to see how to change tab and shiftwidth size.  See the
 GNU Emacs manual, or try ‘C-ha tabs’ (If you have turned Emacs help on).
 Check out the variable ‘indent-tabs-mode’ to put in just spaces.  Also
 see options for word-wrap.
 
 ‘<count> a’
      <count> times after the cursor.
 ‘<count> A’
      <count> times at the end of line.
 ‘<count> i’
      <count> times before the cursor (insert).
 ‘<count> I’
      <count> times before the first CHAR of the line
 ‘<count> o’
      On a new line below the current (open).  The count is only useful
      on a slow terminal.
 ‘<count> O’
      On a new line above the current.  The count is only useful on a
      slow terminal.
 ‘<count> ><move>’
      Shift the lines described by <count><move> one shiftwidth to the
      right (layout!).
 ‘<count> >>’
      Shift <count> lines one shiftwidth to the right.
 ‘<count> ["<a-z1-9>]p’
      Put the contents of the (default undo) buffer <count> times after
      the cursor.  The register will be automatically down-cased.
 ‘<count> ["<a-z1-9>]P’
      Put the contents of the (default undo) buffer <count> times before
      the cursor.  The register will
 ‘[<a-z>’
      Show contents of textmarker.
 ‘]<a-z>’
      Show contents of register.
 ‘<count> .’
      Repeat previous command <count> times.  For destructive commands as
      well as undo.
 ‘f1 1 and f1 2’
      While ‘.’ repeats the last destructive command, these two macros
      repeat the second-last and the third-last destructive commands.
      SeeVi Macros, for more information on Vi macros.
 ‘C-c M-p and C-c M-n’
      In Vi state, these commands help peruse the history of Vi’s
      destructive commands.  Successive typing of ‘C-c M-p’ causes Viper
      to search the history in the direction of older commands, while
      hitting ‘C-c M-n’ does so in reverse order.  Each command in the
      history is displayed in the minibuffer.  The displayed command can
      then be executed by typing a period.
 
      Since typing the above sequences of keys may be tedious, the
      functions doing the perusing can be bound to unused keyboard keys
      in the Viper customization file.  SeeViper Specials, for
      details.
