- Edith Manual Interface Behaviour 25th August 1994
-
-
- The following details for the keyboard, mouse behaviour
- and interface appearance in Edith windows can be set in
- this dialog:
-
-
- The ALERT BELL switch determines whether Edith should
- sound the bell when an alert pops up.
-
-
- Edith's BUTTONS can be set to three scales of grey when
- at least 16 colours are available.
-
-
- The NUMERICAL KEYPAD can either literally produce the
- symbols shown on the keyboard, or serve for a set of
- cursor and window operations. When PC-XT is
- selected, the 1-9 keys serve for cursor movement as on
- MS-DOS keyboards with NUM LOCK switched off. When
- WINDOW OPERATIONS is selected, the following keys on
- the numerical keypad have a special meaning:
-
- ( Vertically tile text windows
- ) Horizontally tile text windows
- / Fold text windows
- * Full active text window
- - Smaller font
- + Larger font
- 0 Iconify active window
- . Top/Bury active window
-
- Control plus a number key will move the active
- window to the edge (2, 4, 6, 8), the corner
- (1, 3, 7, 9) or the center (5) of the screen.
-
- Some of these shortcuts can also be found in the
- WINDOWS menu.
-
-
- When MOUSE JUMPS ALLOWED is selected, Edith will try to
- automatically move the mouse around so that the user
- need not get his hands off the keyboard. When ALWAYS
- AS ARROW is selected, the mouse will only take the
- arrow and busy bee shapes, and not the text cursor,
- thin cross, etc.
-
-
- ** Mouse jumps are always disabled under MultiTOS
- and Geneva.
