In the post #1 of this thread, it is mentionned :

Code:
dd : Deletes three lines from current cursor position downwards.(also :d)

Shouldn't it be dd : Deletes the current line instead ???

I would also add :
cw : change 1 word begining from current cursor position
ncw : change n word begining from current cursor position
cW: change word treating only whitespace (or line ends) as word delimiters
C : Change the whole line from the current cursor position
D : Delete the current line from current cursor position (leaving in command mode contrary to the C command which do the same but switch to insert mode).
R : Replace (kind of overwrite, this command switch to insert mode)
My 2 cents.

Curses Library (libcurses) STANDARDS
Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows: deleteln, wdeleteln, insdelln, winsdelln, insertln, winsertln: XCURSES4.2 Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about industry standards and associated tags. DESCRIPTION
The deleteln and wdeleteln routines do the following: Delete the line under the cursor in the current or specified window Move all lines below the current line up one line Clear the bottom line of the window These routines do not change the cursor position. (This does not imply use of a hardware delete line feature.) The insdelln and winsdelln routines do the following: For positive n, insert n lines into the current or specified window above the current line The n bottom lines are lost. For negative n, delete n lines (starting with the one under the cursor), and move the remaining lines up The bottom n lines are cleared. These routines do not change the current cursor position. The insertln and insertln routines insert a blank line above the current line. The bottom line is lost. (This does not imply use of a hard- ware insert line feature.) NOTES
The header file <curses.h> automatically includes the header file <stdio.h>. Note that all routines except winsdelln may be macros. RETURN VALUES
All routines return ERR upon failure and OK upon successful completion. SEE ALSO
