The commands of Forms mode belong to the C-c prefix, with one exception: TAB, which moves to the next field. Forms mode uses different key maps for normal mode and read-only mode. In read-only Forms mode, you can access most of the commands without the C-c prefix, but you must type ordinary letters instead of control characters; for example, type n instead of C-c C-n.
forms-next-record
). With a prefix
argument n, show the nth next record.
forms-prev-record
). With a prefix
argument n, show the nth previous record.
forms-jump-record
). Specify
the record number with a prefix argument.
forms-first-record
).
forms-last-record
). This command also
recalculates the number of records in the data file.
forms-next-field
).
With a numeric argument n, jump forward n fields. If this command
would move past the last field, it wraps around to the first field.
forms-toggle-read-only
). In read-only
Forms mode, you cannot edit the fields; most Forms mode commands can be
accessed without the prefix C-c if you use the normal letter
instead (for example, type n instead of C-c C-n). In edit
mode, you can edit the fields and thus change the contents of the data
base; you must begin Forms mode commands with C-c
. Switching
to edit mode is allowed only if you have write access to the data file.
forms-insert-record
). It starts out with empty (or default)
contents for its fields; you can then edit the fields. With a prefix
argument, the new record is created after the current one.
See also forms-modified-record-filter
in 7. Modifying The Forms Contents.
forms-delete-record
). You are
prompted for confirmation before the record is deleted unless a prefix
argument has been provided.
forms-search
). If found, this record is shown. If you give an
empty argument, the previous regexp is used again.
forms-next-field
but moves backwards.
In addition, commands such as C-x C-s (save-buffer
) and
M-x revert-buffer are useful in Forms mode just as in other modes.
The following function key definitions are set up in Forms mode (whether read-only or not):
