vEdit's Command Syntax loosely follows the syntax of the "C" programming language. The format of commands is:

Command( arguments )

Command names can be entered in any combination of upper and lower case letters. To improve readability, we usually capitalize the first letter of each command word, e.g. Type_Space( ).

The _" character is optional and is only intended to improve readability. Most commands have a short abbreviation. It is often, but not always, the first letter of each command word.

Therefore, the following commands Type_Space( ), typespace( ), TS( ), and ts( ) are all identical.

Many commands take one or more arguments which must be enclosed in parentheses "(...)". With a few exceptions, commands that take no arguments can have the empty "( )" left off.
