This is one of the CommonGripes or is it really one of the HolyWars ? In [[TPU]] lingo, the idea that the cursor is "bound" to live between the start of line and the end of text on a line is configurable. In "unbound" mode, the cursor can move anywhere on the screen. The editor simply inserts spaces as needed to compensate for what would otherwise be a "hole" in the line. In GnuEmacs, this can only be accomplished in PictureMode. In [[VI]], there is no equivalent. Note: Can [[VIM]] do this? Answer: Easily. The Windows based, [[Zeus]] editor does not have this limitation. It will let the cursor move past the end of line. The [[Kate]] editor operates in two modes: in Line Mode the cursor is bound; in Block Mode it is unbound.
Summary:
This change is a minor edit.
