Below are the key commands used to move through the script.
All left/right caret movement will wrap from line to line. If you are at the end of a line and press ® you will go to the beginning of the next line. Using this method, you can go from line to line and paragraph to paragraph using left/right cursor movement.
All up/down caret movement holds a virtual column which is the column the caret was on when the first up/down command was entered. If the caret needs to move in because it moved down to a shorter line, it will move back out if the next line is longer. Go to the end of an action paragraph and move the caret down past dialogue to another action line. You will see the caret move in to the end of the shorter lines and then back out to the same column on the longer lines.
If you move the caret off the window, the script will scroll so that the caret remains visible. The only time the caret will be invisible is when you use the scroll bars to reposition the screen.

¬ Move 1 character to the left.

CTRL ¬ Move 1 word to the left.

CTRL Move to the previous paragraph.
CTRL PgDn Move to the lower right corner of the screen.
CTRL PgUp Move to the upper left corner of the screen
CTRL End Move to the end of the script.
CTRL Home Move to the beginning of the script.
CTRL M Center the screen on the caret. (The caret does not move, the screen is scrolled.)
CTRL ALT PgDn Move to the next page.
CTRL ALT PgUp Move to the previous page.
You can use the mouse to move the cursor. Just move the mouse to where you want to place the caret and press the left mouse button.
You can also use the scroll bars to move through the script. The scroll bar on the right is always there. A scroll bar will appear at the bottom if the entire width of the script cannot fit on the screen. Both scroll bars let you move throughout the document. The button in each scroll bar shows you what percentage of the script is presently visible.
Click the arrow button at the end of the scroll bar to scroll a line. Click between the arrows and the button to scroll a screen. Drag the button to move to any position. The script will be redrawn at the new position(s) as you drag the scroll bar.
When you scroll the script, the caret stays at its present position in the script and will scroll off screen. If after you scroll, you then use a key to move the caret, the script will scroll back to make the caret visible. So after you scroll, click the mouse over the script to place the caret somewhere in the now visible part of the script. (This is done so you can scroll and then use the mouse to select a large block of text.)
