(*) OUTSIDE THE EDITOR: Type: <CTRL-Q> to "Exit the Editor" and return to prompt. * T/Maker commands are issued at the WHAT NEXT? prompt. * You will not lose any of your work if you decide to momentarily jump out of the T/Maker Editor. Note: SAVE current work area before you GET or CREATE a new file. + 2 KS * MOVING CURSOR * <EDIT> Exit the Editor..........<CTRL-Q> Cursor Up......<Up> or <CTRL-K> Screen Up................<ESC> <Up> Cursor Down....<Dn> or <CTRL-J> Screen Down..............<ESC> <Dn> Cursor Left....<Lf> or <CTRL-H> Screen Left..............<ESC> <Lf> Cursor Right...<Rt> or <CTRL-L> Screen Right.............<ESC> <Rt> Home the Screen...<ESC> <CTRL-O> Return to Left Margin....<ESC> <ENTER> Home the Cursor.........<CTRL-O> Advance to Next Word..........<CTRL-P> Move to Top Line.......<ESC> <A> Advance to End of Line..<ESC> <CTRL-P> Move to Bottom Line....<ESC> <Z> * REVISING TEXT * Insert Character.............<CTRL-W> Break Line................<ESC> > Delete Character.............<CTRL-E> Join Line.................<ESC> < Insert Line..................<CTRL-R> Set Left Line Segment.....<ESC> ( Delete Line..................<CTRL-T> Set Right Line Segment....<ESC> ) Delete to End of Line........<CTRL-Y> Copy Line Segment.........<CTRL-S> Delete Spaces to Next Char...<CTRL-U> Move Line Segment.........<CTRL-V> + 2 INFO OUTSIDE THE EDITOR: 1/1 WHAT NEXT? <INFO> INSIDE THE EDITOR: <ESC> <?> gets INFO line. <ESC> <#> redraws screen. Note: The INFO line will not affect any part of your work file. + 2 MT You move text in T/Maker with the help of the T/Maker BUFFER. A buffer is a temporary storage device that holds lines of text. * Place your cursor on the line you want to move or copy. <CTRL-F> Carbon copy a line to Buffer. <CTRL-G> Physically move a line to Buffer. * Move your cursor to the line where you want text inserted. <CTRL-D> Insert a copy of the Buffer. * Cleaning the Buffer. <CTRL-C> or <CTRL-Q> (Exit the Editor) + 2 LS MOVING LINE SEGMENTS <ESC> > Break Line: (Moves everything from cursor over down one line) <ESC> < Join Line : (Brings line below up to cursor line. Connects at cursor.) <ESC> ( Set Left Line Segment Mark <ESC> ) Set Right Line Segment Mark <CTRL S> Copy Line Segment (same line) <CTRL G> Move Line Segment (same line) + 2 SR SEARCHING & REPLACING While in the T/Maker Editor, <ESC> <'> Search for a word/phrase <ESC> <&> Continue search <ESC> <"> Replace a word/phrase HINT #1: If you "accidentally" hit the search keystroke, simply search for anything to get back to EDIT Mode. HINT #2: If you hit the replace keystrokes without meaning to replace something, replace something with itself. [ replace z z ] + 2 MODE CARRIAGE RETURN MODES Choose from 3 different Carriage Return Modes. T/Maker starts in the Manual Return Mode. By hitting <ESC> R once, and you'll "toggle" to Drafting (wordwrap mode). Hit <ESC> R again, you'll toggle into Table Mode. <ESC> <R> Manual Return Mode (You must manually return the cursor when it gets to end of screen). <ESC> <R> Drafting Return Mode (Same as automatic wordwrap - cursor is automatically returned at col 63) <ESC> <R> Table Mode (Horizontal scrolling across screens) To clear mode change report, type: <ESC> <#> (which redraws screen). + OTHER T/MAKER MODES <ESC> <I> Insert Mode Sets T/Maker to Automatic-Continuous Insert of text. <ESC> <F> Frame Mode You can frame certain areas of text so that they will not be affected by cursor movements. Place the cursor in between the area you wish to stabilize and the area you wish to scroll through and type:<ESC> F Note: Frame Mode is especially useful for scrolling spreadsheets. ( See [ FRAME ] for more information. ) + 2 TABS TABS * TABS * TABS <ESC> <TAB> Set a Tab <ESC> <ESC> <TAB> Clear a Tab <ESC> <S> <TAB> Set all Tabs (Sets Tab at first character of every word or string on line cursor is on.) <ESC> <C> <TAB> Clear all Tabs + 2 KM A KEYSTROKE MACRO remembers a sequence of keystrokes. <CTRL-B> Begin Macro (Starts recording keystroke sequence) <CTRL-X> End Macro/ Execute Once (Ends recording session ... Subsequent hits replay Macro once) <CTRL-Z> End Macro/ (Ends recording session ... Execute # Times Subsequent hits replays Many Times) Note: Once you Exit the Editor, T/Maker will forget your keystroke sequence. + 2 ALIGN <<< >> 1/1 WHAT NEXT? <ALIGN> (Aligning Wedges) RIGHT & LEFT JUSTIFIED * Aligns text in active area (below << >> Top Line of Screen. See AA for FIRST LINE FREE. for more information.) RIGHT & LEFT JUSTIFIED * Are a visible example of how <<< ->> & which text should be ALIGNed. RIGHT-RAGGED EDGE. * WEDGES are placed on a separate << ->> line ABOVE text to be ALIGNed. FIRST LINE FREE (This Align-Line will not print.) RIGHT-RAGGED EDGE. * Continues to ALIGN until a new <<- >> set of WEDGES are found. CENTERED (Only one set of WEDGES per Line) >><< * To change margins on one side, STOP ALIGNING TEXT specify only WEDGE on that side. + 2 PRINT 1/1 WHAT NEXT? <PRINT IT> or <PRINT DiskFile> PRINT work on the active area. * (See AA for more information.) * The PRINT command brings the printer's prompt to the screen: NEXT PAGE 1 (YES.SCREEN.NO.GO.QUIT)? Options: <Y> Prints the next page to the printer. <S> Prints the next page to the screen for pre-viewing. <N> SKIPS the next page, and re-prompts you for next next page. <G> Prints all the work file pages, without further prompting. <Q> Quits the PRINT command. + Because T/Maker allows you to "stack" commands, you can specify some of the PRINT options before giving the filename or IT option. <NONSTOP > Pre-answers printer's prompt with Y. <NUMBER n> First page is number n. <FROM n > Start printing from page n. <TO n > Print pages through page n. Text will only be PRINTed in the active area. (Everything below the cursor just before Exiting the Editor.) Example: PRINT work file pages 10 through 20 continuously without prompts. 1/1 WHAT NEXT? < PRINT NONSTOP FROM 10 TO 20 IT > + 2 PD * PRINT DESIGN COMMANDS * The following Print Design commands go in your text and tell the printer what "action" to take. (Of course, the PD's won't show up in the printing.) Print Design commands (PD) always start with a . in the first column, followed by the action. Action will continue in force until an overiding action is requested. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- .width 80 Sets page or panel width at, e.g., 80 columns .pagesize 66 Sets physical page size of a page, e.g., 66 lines .length 60 Sets usable length of a page, e.g., 60 lines .number 3 Sets page # of current page, e.g, first page numbered 3 .indent 6 Shifts the following text 6 positions to the right .single Single spaces the following text .double Double spaces the following text .clean Takes out first 7 columns & math equations for printing .noclean Resumes normal printing + PRINT DESIGN Commands (con't) |Word| Bolds "Word" (can be placed anywhere on line) \My Word!\ Underlines "My Word!" (can be placed anywhere on line) .+ Bolds all previous line ._ Underscores all previous line .= Underscores all words in previous line .& Overprints previous line with next line ., This line will not ALIGN- The ., will not be printed w/text . This line ignored - next line acts like new paragraph ..who's on 1st? Comment Line - line appears on screen but does not print .23 Advances printer to the 23rd line of the page) .newpage Forces the printer to place following text on a new page .newpage 5 Forces the printer to place following text on a new page if less than 5 lines are left on the current page .continue filename Tells the printer to automatically get the next file and print it. Working file can contain many .continues + .footnote 1) This FOOTNOTE will automatically be printed at the page bottom. .end ============================================================================== .top 2 --- PAGE HEADING --- # of 8 .end This line will appear at the top of each page starting with page number 2. T/Maker will replace the "#" sign with the correct page number. ============================================================================== .bottom page # .end These lines will appear at bottom of each page with page numbers. + 2 CHAIN CHAINING T/MAKER TEXT FILES TOGETHER You may decide to do a large report or paper in "sections". You can "chain" T/Maker text files together (so that pages automatically number correctly) by using the: .continue filename .CONTINUE is a Print Design command and must begin in the first column.
