TAB

Form: Ctrl+I
TAB moves the cursor to the next tab stop, making it easier to indent text
and lay out tables. Tab stops are normally set every 8 characters ie at
column 9, 17, 25, etc, but you can change the spacing by using the SET
command. (If there is no tab stop to the right of the cursor, the cursor will
not move.)
The way that TAB moves the cursor depends on the typing mode and use
of the TAB option in the ED command.
In insert mode, TAB normally inserts sufficient spaces to move the
cursor (and text to the right of the cursor) to the next tab stop on the
current line. However, if tabs have been turned on by using the TAB
option in the ED command (see section 12.4), TAB will simply insert a
TAB character (ASCII 09H), which moves the cursor and text to the
next tab stop.
In overtype mode, TAB normally simply moves the cursor to the next
tab position on the current line without moving the text or inserting
anything in the file, but it will insert sufficient TAB characters or spaces
(depending on use of the TAB option) to move to the next tab stop if
that is beyond the current line end.
TABs inserted as TAB characters will move if the tab stops are moved by
using the SET command. TABs inserted as spaces will not move.
Another way to indent text is to use the indent option provided by the SET
command.

UNDELETE

Form: Ctrl+U
Inserts the text deleted by the previous DELETE LEFT, DELETE RIGHT,
LINE DELETE or WORD DELETE command. This will reverse the effect of
the command if the cursor is in the same place.
UNDELETE simply inserts the text deleted by the previous delete
command. It will NOT reverse a BLOCK DELETE command.
