 1.4.3 Commands For Changing Text
 --------------------------------
 
 `delete-char (C-d)'
      Delete the character at point.  If point is at the beginning of
      the line, there are no characters in the line, and the last
      character typed was not bound to `delete-char', then return EOF.
 
 `backward-delete-char (Rubout)'
      Delete the character behind the cursor.  A numeric argument means
      to kill the characters instead of deleting them.
 
 `forward-backward-delete-char ()'
      Delete the character under the cursor, unless the cursor is at the
      end of the line, in which case the character behind the cursor is
      deleted.  By default, this is not bound to a key.
 
 `quoted-insert (C-q or C-v)'
      Add the next character typed to the line verbatim.  This is how to
      insert key sequences like `C-q', for example.
 
 `tab-insert (M-<TAB>)'
      Insert a tab character.
 
 `self-insert (a, b, A, 1, !, ...)'
      Insert yourself.
 
 `transpose-chars (C-t)'
      Drag the character before the cursor forward over the character at
      the cursor, moving the cursor forward as well.  If the insertion
      point is at the end of the line, then this transposes the last two
      characters of the line.  Negative arguments have no effect.
 
 `transpose-words (M-t)'
      Drag the word before point past the word after point, moving point
      past that word as well.  If the insertion point is at the end of
      the line, this transposes the last two words on the line.
 
 `upcase-word (M-u)'
      Uppercase the current (or following) word.  With a negative
      argument, uppercase the previous word, but do not move the cursor.
 
 `downcase-word (M-l)'
      Lowercase the current (or following) word.  With a negative
      argument, lowercase the previous word, but do not move the cursor.
 
 `capitalize-word (M-c)'
      Capitalize the current (or following) word.  With a negative
      argument, capitalize the previous word, but do not move the cursor.
 
 `overwrite-mode ()'
      Toggle overwrite mode.  With an explicit positive numeric argument,
      switches to overwrite mode.  With an explicit non-positive numeric
      argument, switches to insert mode.  This command affects only
      `emacs' mode; `vi' mode does overwrite differently.  Each call to
      `readline()' starts in insert mode.
 
      In overwrite mode, characters bound to `self-insert' replace the
      text at point rather than pushing the text to the right.
      Characters bound to `backward-delete-char' replace the character
      before point with a space.
 
      By default, this command is unbound.
