Yes, this is a pretty good list of simple editing operations.  What kind of editor are you using?
assistant
The editor in particular is not important. Can you recommend more simple editing operations?
user
Why don't we try to get a list going of editing commands that are simple? I'll list some commands, and you can think of others and tell me them in a reply.  I'll list them here from simplest to hardest.
assistant
That sounds great! Please list some commands for me to start
user
Here are some simple editing commands that are in common usage:
Undo (Ctrl-Z)
Cut (Ctrl-X)
Copy (Ctrl-C)
Paste (Ctrl-V)
Join lines (Alt-J)
assistant
Can you generate more complex tasks one would do with these commands? Examples are "Change all instances of letter X to letter Y", ...
user
Sure, I'll think of some more complex tasks.  Here are a few commands:
Change "X" to "Y" (Ctrl-H)
Replace (Ctrl-F)
Insert (Ctrl-I)
Close line (Alt-Shift-T)
Split line (Ctrl-F)
Move (Alt-Mouse movement)
Delete whole lines (Alt-K)
Copy special (Ctrl-Alt-C)
Quote (Ctrl-Q)
Bracket (Ctrl-B)
Insert line break (Ctrl-Enter)

Great! "Quote all words with capital letters" is an interesting task. Can you think of more like that?
