Text Field Gadget Short Cuts
You can mark text for cutting, copying, and erasing by simply clicking
and dragging. Hitting alphanumeric keys replaces the text that is
highlighted. Hitting cursor keys moves you to the front or end of the
highlighted text.
If your cursor is already somewhere in the textfield, you can hold the
SHIFT key and click to mark the text from the current cursor position
to the place where you clicked.
And the last way to mark text is to double-click, which will mark the
word you clicked on. If you didn't click on a word, but rather you
clicked on spaces, the whole block of spaces is marked. And if you
clicked on word delimiters, the whole block of delimiters is marked.
While you drag to scroll, the farther away from the gadget your mouse
pointer is, the faster the gadget will scroll.
For key sequences, the Amiga Style Guide was followed. Anywhere the
undo buffer is mentioned, the statement is only valid if the UndoStream
is supplied (see tag section below).
