The following commands operate on words. When given a prefix argument
they operate on that number of words all in one go.
The syntax of a word depends largely on the major mode being used to
edit the buffer with, see section Editing Modes.

- Meta-Right
-
Move forward one word.
- Meta-b

- Meta-Left
-
Move back one word.
- Meta-d

- Meta-DEL

See section Killing.
- Meta-Backspace
-
Kills characters from the start of the previous word to the cursor
position.
- Meta-t
-
Transpose words: the word before the cursor is dragged over the following
word. An argument means to drag the word over that number of words.
- Meta-u
-
Convert the characters from the cursor to the start of the next word to
upper-case.
- Meta-l
-
Similar to Meta-u but converts to lower-case.
- Meta-c
-
Capitalise the word beginning at the cursor position. What happens is that
the next alphabetic character is converted to upper-case then the rest
of the word is converted to lower-case. Note that an argument to this
command currently has no effect.
