# Commands
Micro provides the following commands that can be executed at the command-bar

+by pressing `Ctrl-e` and entering the command. Arguments are placed in single
quotes here but these are not necessary when entering the command in micro.
* `bind 'key' 'action'`: creates a keybinding from key to action. See the
`key` that already exist.
* `help 'topic'?`: opens the corresponding help topic. If no topic is provided
- opens the default help screen.
+ opens the default help screen. Help topics are stored as `.md` files in the
+ `runtime/help` directory of the source tree, which is embedded in the final
+ binary.
* `save 'filename'?`: saves the current buffer. If the file is provided it
will 'save as' the filename.
* `quit`: quits micro.
+* `goto 'line'`: jumps to the given line number. A negative number can be
+ passed to jump inward from the end of the file; for example, -5 jumps
+ to the 5th-last line in the file.
+
* `replace 'search' 'value' 'flags'?`: This will replace `search` with `value`.
The `flags` are optional. Possible flags are:
* `-a`: Replace all occurrences at once
* `tab 'filename'`: opens the given file in a new tab.
+* `tabmove '[-+]?n'`: Moves the active tab to another slot. `n` is an integer.
+ If `n` is prefixed with `-` or `+`, then it represents a relative position
+ (e.g. `tabmove +2` moves the tab to the right by `2`). If `n` has no prefix,
+ it represents an absolute position (e.g. `tabmove 2` moves the tab to slot `2`).
+
* `tabswitch 'tab'`: This command will switch to the specified tab. The `tab`
can either be a tab number, or a name of a tab.

* `showkey`: Show the action(s) bound to a given key. For example

* `term exec?`: Open a terminal emulator running the given executable. If no
