Text Editing Windows
When you have made a selection which needs some additional information, the
basic text editing window is activated.
The text editing window may have one or more editing lines. The length of the
line varies depending on the function. When the window is activated the text
which was previously in that window (default text) reappears on the screen.
The following key selections are possible:
Key Function
<Enter> Selects the text in the window; the editing window is turned off.
The selected text will be the default text of the selection.
<Esc> Interrupts editing; the previous menu is shown and the default text
won’t be updated.
<Ins> Toggles the editing mode between insert and overstrike modes.
The last line of the screen tells the current editing mode. When
editing ends the editing mode is retained and same mode
is used again when editing text.
<←> Arrow keys (right shift and left shift) move the cursor. The
<→> cursor moves as if the lines were positioned one after another. For
instance right shift causes the cursor to move from the last column of
the first line to the first column of the second line. If the right shift is
used and the cursor is at the last position of the last line, the cursor
is not moved. Similarly, the cursor does not move with the left shift
key when it is at the first position of the first line.
<Home> Moves the cursor to the start of the text.
<End> Moves the cursor to the end of the text.
<BS> The backspace key has two different meanings depending on the
editing mode;
• When the overstrike mode is activated the <Backspace> key
moves the cursor back and changes the character under the
cursor into a space. If the cursor is at the first position of the first
line nothing happens.
• When the insert mode is activated the <Back space> key moves
the cursor back and deletes the character under the cursor so that
all characters after the deleted character are moved one position
back. If the cursor is at the first position of the first line nothing
happens.
