Edith Manual       Keyboard & Mouse       19th May 1994


The  following  details  for  the  keyboard  and  mouse
behaviour in Edith windows can be set in this dialog:


The HELP KEY  can either activate  the MANUAL PAGE  for
the active  window, or act  precisely the  same as  the
BACKSPACE key.  The last option is included because  it
is a well-known  problem of the  ATARI keyboard  layout
that the HELP and BACKSPACE keys are so close together,
and one often  hits HELP when  BACKSPACE is the  victim
one was aiming at.


The NUMERICAL KEYPAD can  either literally produce  the
symbols shown on  the keyboard, or serve  for a set  of
nifty operations.  When PC-XT is selected, the 1-9 keys
serve for cursor movement  as on MS-DOS keyboards  with
NUM LOCK  switched  off.   When  WINDOW  OPERATIONS  is
selected, the following  keys on  the numerical  keypad
have a special meaning:

   (     Vertically tile text windows
   )     Horizontally tile text windows
   /     Fold text windows
   *     Full active text window
   -     Smaller font
   +     Larger font
   0     Iconify active window
   .     Top/Bury active window

   Control plus  a  number  key will  move  the  active
   window  to   the   edge   (2, 4, 6, 8), the   corner
   (1, 3, 7, 9) or the center (5) of the screen.

Some of  these  shortcuts  can also  be  found  in  the
WINDOWS menu.


When MOUSE JUMPS ALLOWED is selected, Edith will try to
automatically move the  mouse around so  that the  user
need not get his hands  off the keyboard.  When  ALWAYS
AS ARROW is  selected,  the  mouse will  only take  the
arrow and  busy bee  shapes, and not  the text  cursor,
thin cross, etc.
