Many functions in teapot require editing a line of text, e.g. editing
cell contents, typing file names and the line. Similar to the command
mode, all things can be reached by control codes and most by function
keys. Table tab:Key-Bindings-forLineEditor lists all available
key bindings.

Besides the regular line editor functions, you may use Ctrl-O (Tab in the GUI version) to temporarily leave the editor in order to move around in the sheet if you are editing cell contents. Another Ctrl-O (resp. Tab) brings you back to the line editor. While moving around in the sheet, you can insert the value (v) or position (p) at the cursor position in the edited cell. Clicking on a cell while editing has the same effect as moving to that cell and pressing (p).
Aborting line editing means that you will get right back to command mode, whatever you started doing will have no effect.
