4.4.1 Movement, marking and indentation

Forward Form

Editor Command

Argument: None
Key sequence: Meta+Ctrl+F

Moves the current point to the end of the next form. A positive prefix argument causes the point to be moved the required number of forms forwards.

Backward Form

Editor Command

Argument: None
Key sequence: Meta+Ctrl+B

Moves the current point to the beginning of the previous form. A positive prefix argument causes the point to be moved the required number of forms backwards.

Mark Form

Editor Command

Argument: None
Key sequence: Meta+Ctrl+@

Puts the mark at the end of the current form. The current region is that area from the current point to the end of form. A positive prefix argument puts the mark at the end of the relevant form.

Indent Form

Editor Command

Argument: None
Key sequence: Meta+Ctrl+Q

If the current point is located at the beginning of a form, the whole form is indented in a manner that reflects the structure of the form. This command can therefore be used to format a whole definition so that the structure of the definition is apparent.

See editor:*indent-with-tabs* for control over the insertion of #\Tab characters by this and other indentation commands.
