- INSERTING A LINE INTO YOUR TEXT
-
- There are five different ways to insert a new line into your text
- area.:
- (1) F2
- (2) AltI
- (3) CtrlI
- (4) Ctrl~
- (5) Enter Key (depending on toggle setting)
-
- F2 - add line below
-
- Function key F2 will insert a new line directly below the cursor and
- move the cursor to the left margin of the new line.
-
- Move the cursor to the asterisk (*) and press F2. Notice the cursor
- position. Now press F5 to delete the line you just added.
-
- Press the PgDn Key
-
- Alt I - add line below
-
- Now move the cursor to the asterisk (*), hold down the Alt key and
- press "I". Notice that a new line was added below the cursor and the
- cursor moves to the new line as with F2, but in this case, the cursor
- stayed in the same column instead of going to the left margin. Now
- press F5 to delete the line you just added.
-
-
- Ctrl I - add line above
-
- Move the cursor to the asterisk on the line below, hold down the Ctrl
- key and press "I". (*) Notice that the cursor stayed in the same
- column and moved to the newly added line as with AltI, but in this
- case, the new line was added above the cursor instead of below it.
- Now press F5 to delete the line you just added.
-
-
- Press the PgDn Key
-
- Ctrl ~ - add line above
-
- Move the cursor to the asterisk at the left margin on the line below
- *, hold down the Ctrl key and press the ~ key. Notice that the new
- line was added above the cursor. THIS IS NOT actually an INSERT line
- function but a split line function, and it will only behave in this
- manner when there is no text to the left of the cursor. Press F5 to
- remove the new line just inserted.
-
-
- Inserting a new line with the ENTER key
-
- If your AltX toggle is set so that 'X' or 'x' appears on the command
- line, then a new line will be inserted below the cursor when the Enter
- key is pressed. The cursor will move to the left margin if 'X' is on
- the Command Line, and to the column under the leftmost character on
- the preceding line if the 'x' is on the Command Line.
