Chapter 5: A Typical Input Process
Text Editing Options
In addition to the standard cursor movement keys (cursor left, cursor right, tab, etc.) there are several text editing functions that allow you to manipulate alphanumeric and text fields in your application, including the following:
- Delete Character (DELETE) allows you to delete one character at a time.
- Delete Previous Character (BACKSPACE) allows you to delete one character at a time to the left of the cursor position.
- End Paragraph (CTRL+ENTER) allows you to insert a character that will cause a new paragraph to be started, for multi-line alphanumeric items. To exit a text field, press ENTER twice, click
on the title bar or tab out of the field and then press ENTER. - Move to Item Beginning (HOME) allows you to move the cursor to the beginning of the current line of text in the item.
- Move to Item End (END) allows you to move the cursor to the end of the current line of text in the item.
