The Editing Cursor

cursor_left
cursor_right
cursor_up
cursor_down
Move the editing cursor in the appropriate direction. The exact allowed movements depends on where the cursor is and whether cutoff data is displayed.
read_start
read_end
Positions the cursor at the beginning or end of the used data for this sequence.
read_start2
read_end2
Positions the cursor at the beginning or end of the displayed data for this sequence. These differ from read_start and read_end when cutoff data is displayed in that they use the ends of the cutoff data.
contig_start
contig_end
Positions the cursor on the consensus line at the start or end of the contig.
cursor_set xpos ypos
Positions the cursor at the correct position and sequence based on an (x,y) coordinate pair from the topleft corner of the screen. Units are in bases unless '@xpos @ypos' is used, in which case they are pixels.
cursor_consensus ?xpos?
Positions the cursor at an absolute position within the consensus. If no xpos is given the existing position within the contig is returned.
