23    Ctrl-A      Go to left edge of window.
24    Ctrl-B      Cursor left, wrapping to previous line if appropriate.
25    Ctrl-D      Delete character under cursor.
26    Ctrl-E      Go to right edge (stripspaces off) or end of line (stripspaces on).
27    Ctrl-F      Cursor right, wrapping to next line when appropriate.
28    Ctrl-G      Terminate, returning the window contents.
29    Ctrl-H      Delete character backward.
30    Ctrl-J      Terminate if the window is 1 line, otherwise insert newline.
31    Ctrl-K      If line is blank, delete it, otherwise clear to end of line.
32    Ctrl-L      Refresh screen.
33    Ctrl-N      Cursor down; move down one line.
34    Ctrl-O      Insert a blank line at cursor location.
35    Ctrl-P      Cursor up; move up one line.
