CURSOR and SCREEN CONTROL KEYS
Using the Arrow Keys on the Number Pad
--------------------------------------
The arrow keys on the number pad will move the cursor one character in
the indicated direction.
When you reach the top or the bottom of the screen, the up and down
arrows will cause the screen to scroll one line.
When you reach the left or right MARGINS, the left and right arrows
will wrap to the beginning of the next line or the end of the previous
line.
Using the arrow keys on this screen, move them around to extremes to
see how they behave.
Press the PgDn Key
Using the Arrow Keys on the Number Pad with the Ctrl key
--------------------------------------------------------
When you hold down the Ctrl Key and press the left or right arrow
keys, the cursor will jump to the beginning of the previous or next
word on the line in the indicated direction. If there is no next or
previous word, the cursor will move to the Left or Right margin in the
indicated direction.
When you hold down the Ctrl Key and press the up or down arrow keys,
the cursor will jump straight up or down to the beginning of the
previous or next paragraph. If there is no previous or next
paragraph, the cursor will move to the Top or Bottom line of the file.
Hold down the Ctrl Key and test the arrow key action.
Press the PgDn Key
The Home and End Keys on the Number Pad
---------------------------------------
┌────────────────────────────────┐ Assume the box to the left is
│ W │ screen, and the line of 'x's is a
│ │ line of text. Also assume the
│ │ left and right margins are at L-R.
│ │
│ X xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxY │ The H o m e key would move you to 'X'
│ │ if you were on that line.
│ │ The E n d key would move you to 'Y'
│ Z │ if you were on that line.
├────────────────────────────────┤ Ctrl H o m e would move you to 'W'.
│ L R │ Ctrl E n d would move you to 'Z'.
└────────────────────────────────┘
Move the cursor to this screen and try Home, End, CtrlHome, CtrlEnd.
Press the PgDn Key
The PgUp and PgDn Keys on the Number Pad
----------------------------------------
You have been using the PgDn key to move through these HELP files. As
you have noticed, PgDn will move you one screen's worth of lines
toward the end of the file.
Similarly, the PgUp key will move you one screen's worth of lines
toward the beginning of the file. As long as you do not run into the
top or the bottom of the file, the cursor position relative to the
screen will not change.
CtrlPgUp will position the cursor in the upper-left hand corner of the
screen at the top of the file while CtrlPgDn will position the cursor
in the lower-left hand corner of the screen at the bottom of the file.
Try these keys in this file and return to this screen.
Press the PgDn Key
The Tab and ShiftTab Keys
-------------------------
The bottom line of the screen indicates the column in which the cursor
is located. It also depicts the margin and tab locations as they are
currently set.
Pressing the TAB key will move the cursor to the next TAB (or Margin)
column to the right (shown as L,I,T, or R).
Holding down the Shift key and pressing the TAB key will move the
cursor to the previous TAB (or Margin) column to the left.
(Note: the TAB key has no effect on the Command Line.)
Move the cursor into the text area and try a few TAB's and ShiftTABs.
Press the PgDn Key
The Enter Key
-------------
The Enter key is actually the subject of discussion in the HELP file
"ENTR_KEY". Suffice it to say here that in general it will move you
to the Left Margin and down one line.
It may or may not insert a new line in the text.
It is also used on the Command Line or in fields to signify that an
instruction or input item has been completed and is ready to be acted
upon.
Press the PgDn Key
The GOTO Command (nn on the Command Line)
----------------
At the right of the Command line is a number indicating the current
line number (or row) of the file on which the cursor is currently
located.
Move the cursor to the asterisk below. (Row should = 137).
Now press the Esc key to move the cursor to the Command Line.
On the Command line type 129 and press the Enter key. As you can see,
the cursor is moved to the line specified by the line number on the
Command Line.
NOTE: Do not type the word "GOTO" - only the desired line number.
(*)
Press the PgDn Key
The MOVE nn Lines Command (+nn or -nn on the Command Line)
-------------------------
Notice the Row number on the Command Line. With the cursor on the
Command Line type +5 and press the Enter key. As you can see the
cursor moves 5 lines toward the end of the file.
Now replace the "+" with a "-" so that the Command Line reads -5 and
press the Enter key again. Now the cursor moved 5 lines toward the
beginning of the file.
These are useful commands to use for browsing when the PgUp or PgDn
keys (which shift the screen 20 lines) is not quite what you want.
NOTE: Do not type the word "MOVE" - only +nn or -nn.
