- This is Edit, version 1.00 (20-Dec-88)
-
- Documentation on how to use Edit can be found in Edition 2 of the Archimedes
- User Guide.
-
- The following remarks should be noted about this version of Edit and its
- documentation.
-
- The TAB key can be used to move the caret along the line to the column
- position that matches the start of the next word boundary on the line above,
- provided that the 'line above' is not wrapped.
-
- When forming a selection using the SELECT and ADJUST mouse keys, if CTRL is
- held down, the caret will not be moved. This makes it easier to copy a block
- of text to where the caret already is: hold down CTRL, make the selection,
- type C, release CTRL.
-
- ADJUST on the close box of an Edit window will close the window (if the
- window is not modified) and open the parent directory viewer. This should be
- thought of as similar to ADJUST on the close box of a directory viewer.
-
- The vertical scroll bar indicates the fraction of the file currently visible
- as a fraction of the total number of characters, rather than as a fraction of
- the number of lines. This means that the length of the vertical scroll bar
- will vary dependent upon the number of characters in the window.
-
- If a desktop closedown sequence (e.g. Exit from the Task manager menu)
- occurs when Edit has some modified buffers, Edit sometimes erroneously
- terminates the desktop closedown sequence. It is of course normal practice
- to save your work before trying to exit the desktop.
