The ispf base profile has key assignments and prefix commands that should be familiar to ISPF users. Refer to the updateProfile.baseProfile parameter for other base profiles.
The key settings listed below are divided into key and action pairs. The first string (e.g. "a-b.t") indicates the key and the second string indicates the action (e.g. "blockMarkCharacter"). For a complete definition of how a key is defined refer to the keyAction parameter.

The mouse event settings listed below are divided into mouse event and action pairs. The first string (e.g. "1-a-c-pressed.1.t") indicates the mouse event and the second string indicates the action (e.g. "blockUnmark"). For a complete definition of how a mouse event is defined refer to the mouseAction parameter.

| <n | Enter <n in the prefix area to cause the editor to shift the specified line n characters to the left. If there is are less than n spaces at the start of the line, only the spaces are deleted. |
| << | Enter << in the prefix area of two different lines in the document to delimit a block of text that you want to shift one character to the left. Only the visible lines will be shifted. Lines that do not have at least one space at the start of the line will be unaffected. |
| <<n | Enter >>n in the prefix area of two different lines in the document to delimit a block of text that you want to shift n characters to the left. Only the visible lines will be shifted. Lines that have less than n spaces at the start of the line will only have those spaces deleted. |
| > | Enter > in the prefix area to cause the editor to shift the specified line one character to the right. If the line cannot be shifted without truncating a non blank character, nothing is done. |
| >n | Enter >n in the prefix area to cause the editor to shift the specified line n characters to the right. If the line cannot be shifted n characters without truncating a non blank character, the line will only be shifted as far to the right as it can be without truncating a non blank character. |
| >> | Enter >> in the prefix area of two different lines in the document to delimit a block of text that you want to shift one character to the right. Only the visible lines will be shifted. Lines that cannot be shifted without truncating a non blank character will be unaffected. |
| >>n | Enter >>n in the prefix area of two different lines in the document to delimit a block of text that you want to shift n characters to the right. Only the visible lines will be shifted. Lines that cannot be shifted without truncating a non blank character will only be shifted as far to the right as they can be without truncating a non blank character. |
| A | Enter A in the prefix area to cause the editor to copy or move lines after the specified line. The source lines and the type of operation (move or copy) are determined by the first occurrence of one of the following commands: C, CC, M, or MM. |
| B | Enter B in the prefix area to cause the editor to copy or move lines before the specified line. The source lines and type of operation (move or copy) are determined by the first occurrence of one of the following commands: C, CC, M, or MM. |
| C | Enter C in the prefix area to indicate that the specified line is to be the source for a copy operation. The target location for the copy is determined by the first occurrence of one of an A, B, O, or OO command. |
| CC | Enter CC in the prefix area of two different lines in the document. The CC commands will delimit the source for a copy operation. Only visible lines are included in the source. The target location for the copy is determined by the first occurrence of one of an A, B, O, or OO command. |
| D | Enter D in the prefix area to cause the editor to delete the specified line. |
| Dn | Enter Dn in the prefix area to cause the editor to delete the specified line and the following n - 1 visible lines. |
| DD | Enter DD in the prefix area of two different lines in the document to delimit a block of text that you want deleted. Only the visible lines will be deleted. |
| F | Enter F in the prefix area of an excluded block header to show the first line in the excluded block. Lines can be excluded with the X, Xn, and XX commands. |
| Fn | Enter Fn in the prefix area of an excluded block header to show the first n lines in the excluded block. Lines can be excluded with the X, Xn, and XX commands. |
| I | Enter I in the prefix area to cause the editor to insert a new line after the specified line. |
| In | Enter In in the prefix area to cause the editor to insert n new lines after the specified line. n is a positive integer. |
| L | Enter L in the prefix area of an excluded block header to show the last line in the excluded block. Lines can be excluded with the X, Xn, and XX commands. |
| Ln | Enter Ln in the prefix area of an excluded block header to show the last n lines in the excluded block. Lines can be excluded with the X, Xn, and XX commands. |
| LC | Enter LC in the prefix area to cause the editor to change the specified line to lower case. |
| LCn | Enter LCn in the prefix area to cause the editor to change the specified line and the following n-1 visible lines to lower case. |
| LCC | Enter LCC in the prefix area of two different lines in the document to delimit a block of text that you want to change to lower case. Only the visible lines will be changed. |
