4.8.3 Editing Command Lines That Wrap

The enhanced editing feature provides a wraparound for commands that extend beyond a single line on the screen. When the cursor reaches the right margin, the command line shifts eight spaces to the left. You cannot see the first eight characters of the line, but you can scroll back and check the syntax at the beginning of the command. To scroll back, use the following command:

Keystrokes	Purpose
Press Ctrl-Bor the left arrow repeatedly until you scroll	Return to the beginning of a command line to verify
back to the beginning of the command entry, or press	that you have correctly entered a lengthy command.
Ctrl-Ato return directly to the beginning of the line.

Note: The arrow keys function only on ANSI-compatible terminals such as VT100.

In the following example, the access-list command entry extends beyond one line. When the cursor first reaches the end of the line, the line is shifted eight spaces to the left and redisplayed. The dollar sign ($) indicates that the line has been scrolled to the left. Each time the cursor reaches the end of the line, it is again shifted eight spaces to the left.
