Editing

This part teaches ordinary text work: movement, selection, transfer, reversible history, and saved editor state.

Chapters

Move and Edit Text covers grapheme, word, line, and page movement together with direct insertion, indentation, deletion, and overwrite input.
Select Text introduces point, mark, active regions, semantic selection, cancellation, and recent selection locations.
Transfer Text uses the internal kill ring to copy, kill, yank, rotate, and undo selected text.
Undo and Redo Changes traverses semantic editing units, creates an alternate future, and explains the current branch-selection boundary.
Save and Revisit Editor State persists named locations, text, values, and portable layout intent through typed candidate workflows.
Recover Unsaved Work reviews private recovery checkpoints after an interrupted editor process.

Follow the chapters in order. They share one disposable practice file and progress from direct text movement to persistent editor state.
