Unlike most current word processors,
Nile has several different modes.
This may seem complicated but the modes are fairly natural.
The most commonly used modes are the character, word and
sentence modes, through which the user can move with the
TAB key. In these modes, the following cursor keys apply:
<!-- xtable (freetable) doesn't work with more than 10 rows
