SHIFT LEFT
Shifts the current window to the left by the number of columns you
specify.
This does not shift text in the buffer, but only the horizontal position
of the window relative to the buffer, so you can view the undisplayed
portion of very wide text, such as lines 100 characters long, without
having to widen the EVE screen.
Example:
The following commands shift the window 30 column to the right (so that
column 31 of your text is in the leftmost column of the window), and
then shift the window 30 columns to the left, restoring the original
alignment (column 1 of your text in the leftmost column of the window):
Command: SHIFT RIGHT 30
.
.
Command: SHIFT LEFT 30
Usage notes:
o With each SHIFT command, EVE tells you the total number of columns the
window is shifted. To find out the current shift (if any), use SHOW.
o You cannot use SHIFT LEFT unless you used SHIFT RIGHT, and you cannot
shift the window left beyond column 1.
o On DECwindows, you can shift the window to the left by clicking M1 to
the left of the thumb in the horizontal scroll bar---see help on Scroll
Bars.
