- Description:
-
- IClear is a module which makes it easier to delete text from a writable
- icon. Under RISC OS, to replace the text in such an icon with new text, you
- first have to either delete all the characters of the old text or press
- Ctrl-U to clear it. This can be a nuisance, especially if you have just
- selected the icon with the mouse, as you first have to transfer to the
- keyboard, then press Ctrl-U before you can type in your new text.
-
- With IClear running, simply double-click on the writable icon, using either
- Select or Adjust. The icon will be inverted, which usually means that it
- will turn black with white text. As soon as you press a key, the text in the
- icon will vanish, to be replaced with the character that you typed. If you
- change your mind after inverting the icon and decide you want to keep your
- existing text, a further click with any mouse button anywhere on the screen
- will de-invert the icon and put things back to normal.
-
- This software will work with writable icons (button type 15) and also
- draggable writable icons (button type 14) but not with writable menu items.
