(DELETE) UNBOUND Definitions UNBOUND - this key is not normally bound to any vi command word - a lower-case word ("w", "b", "e" commands) is defined by a consecutive string of letters, numbers, or underscore, or a consecutive string of characters that is not any of {letters, numbers, underscore, whitespace} Word - an upper-case word ("W", "B", "E" commands) is a consecutive sequence of non-whitespace. sentence paragraph cursor motion command - any command which positions the cursor is ok here, including the use of numeric prefixes. In addition, a repeat of the edit command usually means to apply to the entire current line. For example, "<<" means shift current line left; "cc" means replace entire current line; and "dd" means delete entire current line. ```
