********************** THE CONVENTIONS **********************
IF YOU ARE USING A MOUSE: The left mouse button generally
selects an action and answers questions affirmatively. It is
also like pressing [Enter].
The right mouse button brings up help when you are in the
control panel, ends or cancels actions and answers questions
negatively. It is also like pressing [Esc].
With three-button mice, pressing the center button is the
same as pressing the [F1] key for help.
IF YOU ARE USING THE KEYBOARD: Whether or not you have a
mouse, you can also control The Multimedia Workshop from the
keyboard. The [Enter] key simulates the left mouse button.
Use [Enter] to select actions or answer questions
affirmatively. The [Esc] key simulates the right mouse
button. Use it to end or cancel actions, answer questions
negatively or bring up on-line help.
TO MOVE THE CURSOR (ARROW) WITH THE KEYBOARD: For fine
control, use the arrow keys. The [Num Lock] key should be
off for fine control. You can also move the cursor
diagonally with [Home], [End], [Page Up] and [Page Dn]. For
coarse control, turn the [Num Lock] key on, and use the same
keys, which become the number keys.
In other words, with [Num Lock] off, the right arrow or
[6] key moves the cursor one pixel at a time to the right.
But when the [Num Lock] is on, the [6] key moves the cursor
about 10 pixels to the right each time it is pressed.
FOR COARSE CONTROL: [Num Lock] = ON
FOR FINE CONTROL: [Num Lock] = OFF
SIZE MODE / MOVE MODE
Many drawing options involve placing a rectangle or other
object in the picture and adjusting its size. With a mouse,
moving the object is done by moving the mouse while no mouse
buttons are held down. To change the size or shape of the
object, the mouse is moved while the right button is held
down.
From the keyboard, this is done differently. To move an
object, use the arrow or number keys. Then, to change it's
size, toggle SIZE mode with the spacebar. Click it once. Now,
when you press number or arrow keys, the shape or size of the
object changes. To return to MOVE mode, click the spacebar
again. The spacebar also toggles SIZE and MOVE mode with the
mouse, so if SIZE is in effect, even without any mouse
buttons pressed, an object will stretch without moving on the
screen until the spacebar is pressed again.
This point can be confusing. If an object misbehaves,
chances are, you have to press the spacebar.
HELP
There is on-line help for most of the services of The
Multimedia Workshop. To get help at any time, press the [F1]
key. If you have a 3-button mouse, you can also press the
center mouse button for help.
