5.3 Keyboard Commands and the internal Message Editor

MsgEd TE has a built in message editor. It is suggested that, before you start using an external editor for writing messages, you should at least try to use the internal message editor, because it is best suited for composing FTN-style messages. The internal message editor is highly configurable, so you should be able to use the internal message editor with the same keyboard setup as your preferred external text editor.

In the following, you will be shown a complete list of available message editor functions. These functions are pre-bound to sensible keystrokes, which are also listed in the following table. Each message editor function has a unique name, and using this name, you can bind this function to any keystroke that you might estimate to be adequate. Instructions on how to do this will be given in the following section (see Redefining the Keyboard bindings).
