Right after starting TEAPOT, you are in the command mode. Many
operations from the command mode are also available from menus, but
using keys is faster and some things, like moving the cell cursor,
are only available through keys. Tables tab:Key-Bindings-in
through tab:Key-Bindings-in-2 list all available key bindings![[*]](footnote.png)
. If a binding is only available in the console variant, it is enclosed
in square brackets; if the binding only works in the graphical variant,
it is in curly braces (the mnemonic for this notation is that square
brackets are “plain” and curly braces are “fancy”).

One command-mode key in particular needs additional explanation. The
. (Period) marks blocks: The first time it is pressed marks the beginning
of a block, which is then extended by moving the cell cursor. The
next time, it marks the end of the block which lets you move the cell
cursor after without changing the block. The third time, it removes
the block marks again.
