Transposing

Epsilon has commands to transpose characters, words, and lines. To transpose the words before and after point, use the Alt-t command. This command leaves undisturbed any non-word characters between the words. Point moves between the words. The Ctrl-x Ctrl-t command transposes the current and previous lines and moves point between them.

The Ctrl-t command normally transposes the characters before and after point. However, at the start of a line it transposes the first two characters on the line, and at the end of a line it transposes the last two. On a line with one or no characters, it does nothing.

Standard bindings:

Ctrl-t    transpose-characters

Alt-t    transpose-words

Ctrl-x Ctrl-t    transpose-lines
