Same as s* **R Repeat ***** **U (not *U) Unsave, and leave ** locked on. *( Enclose sentence in parentheses; cursor at beginning of sentence. *) Same for sentence on left, but cursor in space at end of sentence. *s( Remove matched pair of parentheses; cursor on ( at beginning of sentence. *s) Same, but cursor on ) at end of sentence, or on space at end. Removes ( & ), but not text inside them. **( or **) Enclose whole sentence in (), cursor anywhere inside sentence. **s( or **s) Remove matched pair of () surrounding whole sentence. *[ Break whole line at screen left edge, regardless of ruler margins. Cursor can be anywhere on line for *[ and *] *] Break overly long line near R margin; aligns it onto new line. Breaks at word boundary. *sCR Break to align with indented line below, not with cursor line. **F7 Reformat a T-block (if feasible) regardless of the ruler margin setting. **K Reformat whole T-block (if feasible) from anywhere inside it, and respot.

On locked keypads, use œ at anytime. 1:--------------- LONG RULERS & RULERS ------------------- You may read-in and use a special long ruler, which covers two screen widths (80+78 = 158 columns) and provides 5 column tabs. *F2 Reads-in long ruler as PC-W default ruler. Also use *F2 to re-read long ruler if damaged or changed. (Reads from this file Star.AF1) (Ruler on top line here. Inactive copy on BangD.QQQ) ŸF2 Remove visible ruler, respot. (Also remove 2nd window, if present.) ŸŸF2 Delete embedded ruler above cursor, respot. (Not dot lines) /Gr- Cancel top window (and ruler), starting from either window. /Gr+ Cancel bottom window (and ruler), starting from either window. /Grñ saves active file if canceling active window. 2:--- AltK on CR key ------- Ý* Þ ---- GAP MOTION once --------------------- A gap is three or more space characters (for *Arr) or three or more non-letter, non-numeric characters which includes space characters (for **Arr). 'To Gap Left' goes left to the left side of a gap. A backward search for a gap. 'To Gap Right' goes right to the right side of a gap. A forward search for gap. Both macros expect text near the gap. Gap Deletion affects only space characters. (Note: To deGap a whole para quickly, use ŸŸF7 or Alt F5 F5 F9) Use * to act & exit. Use ** to lock gap motion and interlock all gapper keys. *ßß Delete Gap left. Start Shadow motion. *Û Type Alt K & Break to align. ß *ß ß **Û Go to line end, To Gap Left *ß s5 *ß To Gap Right. type Alt K (no break), ß ß ß and go UP to line end; locks CR to repeat. Insert Gap *ßß *ßß Delete Gap right. SpBar Exit. s5 Respot, exit. Note: *Bksp also deletes trailing blanks at end of line; leaves one. *CR Types  & Breaks to align point. Sets Wrap+ & Pushright for safety. [*CR Types  and Break to P or L margin (rather than align). Sets Pushright. *UpArr CR (not shown) Type  (Alt K) at end of line above and respot. No break. *UpArr LftArr... Shadow Left. *UpArr RtArr... Shadow Right. SHADOW L/R is like Word L/R but follows words of line above; not cursor line. Exit locked shadow motion with SpBar or DnArr. Easy fingering with DnArr exit. 3:---- ÝGapperÞ ------ GAP MOTION on the locked GAPPER KEYPAD --------------- (See gap definitions in 2 above.) Starts automatically with any: **Gapper key (Use ** once only) Gapper keys are Bksp Ins Del & LftArr RtArr All ½ flagged keys below lock and interlock for repetition. ß½ Delete Gap left.

Insert Gap ßß½ ßß½ Delete Gap right. SpBar Exits. Leap to a gap with **RtArr, with one click use Gr+ to switch to ‡‡Word, and continue word by word on arrow keys. **LftArr...CR (See also ]*CR macro via cF1 ] Break line at starting spot to align with Gap selected by arrow key. 4:--- Ý* Þ ----- T-BLOCK MOTION once on corner keys ------------------ T-Blocks are text objects separated by one or more completely empty lines. No space chars allowed in empty line. (See TutA.Doc) Ruler margins and text indents don't matter. Variable indents allowed. Use * to act once & exit. Use ** to lock corner keys for block to block cursor motion. See scrn 5: /*ßß Delete to Beg of Block, exit. *ß Marking, lock. Beg of Block *ß ß *ß End of above Block. /*Û Delete Whole Block, exit. ß ß ß ß Beg of lower Block *ß ß *ß End of Block. Open Delete to Beg of Block, exit /*ßß /*ßß Delete to End of Block, exit. Note: Whole block deletion on /*CR includes empty lines at end of block. MARKING: (Alternatives) o Use /*Crnr (not shown) to mark once to designated corner, & exit. (See cF1 / o Can start marking by any means before starting keypad, then mark one T-Block using *Crnr or many T-Blocks using **Crnr. o Can use **œœ to start new marking anytime after starting keypad, then mark T-Blocks using the Crnr keys. 5:---- Ý**CrnrÞ ------- Locked T-BLOCK MOTION on corner keys --------------- Starts automatically using: **Crnr All ½ flagged keys below lock and interlock for repetition. All unflagged keys execute and exit this keypad. ÜÜÜÜÜ Delete word left (& goto ‡‡Word) Marking ÛÛ½ /*ßßßßß Delete to Beg of Block, exit. ßß Exit. ÛÛ Suspend.

Example: **TR TR TR Gr- (TR is Top Right corner key) Go up to the end of the 2nd block above and exit this locked **Corner keypad. F3 F4 cF4 F5 F6 F7 Work normally; but keypad stays locked. From **Crnr use F6 repeatedly to mark and then move one or more t-blocks. From **Crnr use: F7 Reformats t-block (if feasible), locks. K Reformat whole t-block from end of it, or inside it. **Crnr locks. Note direction connection to ‡‡Word on Bksp, Del, LftArr, and RtArr above. You need not click ‡ or ‡‡. Not shown: Within **Crnr Tab½ Space tab right. sTab½ UnSpace tab left. 6:------------- PLICK RESTORATION -------------------- A horror to behold is the accidental reformatting of a list into paragraph form. The following MacroSet will undo this tragedy if the original list was numbered or if each line in the list began with some distinctive 'plick' symbol. First set the FIND area to the plick symbol or to the search codes for numbers. For example, F9 F5 ) Esc will enable searching for 1) 2) 3) ... If plick symbol is a pair such as -- use both in Find area. With the cursor on the first line of the paragraph: START the Plick MacroSet with: **P (which finds the first plick) then Ins (optional) Inserts a leading space in front of first plick. See Note. then CR Breaks the highlited plick to a new aligned line, & finds next plick. Repeat CR as needed to restore each plick line, line by line, automatically aligning each line with line above. Gr+ Skips to next plick. (Use if search stopped at a non-plick symbol) Gr- Backs up by one plick. SpBar Exits. Exit when last plick is restored or when search jumps out of damaged list. Example: Set up a list at the margin using o as plick symbol. Reformat it. To restore: F9 o Space Esc Sets Find area to lower case o as plick symbol. Start at beginning of paragraph with **P, and continue with CR CR CR ... If the cursor lands on letter o rather than plick o use Gr+ to search for next plick o (Cursor can land on letter o if it is last letter of word.) Exit with SpBar or DnArr. Note: After restoration, indenting all list lines by one column will lessen the chance of accidental reformatting. Or achieve the same effect during the restoration process by using Ins (above) once after starting, to force the first restored plick line to be indented by one column. The CR macro (above) will cause all later lines to align on this first indented plick line (as long as each list item takes only one line.) 7:--------- DOT LINES: DELETING INSERTING FINDING AltG -------------- These macros facilitate working with Alt G dot lines. /. Delete first AltG dot line at or above cursor line and respot. *F7 Reformat in spite of AltG.- Leaves reformat-protect status un-altered. **ñ Go to beg of T-block, insert new line, type AltG.ñ at left edge, respot. Use this ** version to alter reformat-protect status on-the-fly while typing. *ñ Type AltG.ñ at left edge. ßß Up a line, lock. (don't shift for + or :) Û ß *ß ß *Û Up to AltG line. *: Type AltG.: at left edge. ß ß sß Respot *. Type AltG. at left edge. ß ß ß ß *Û Dn to AltG line. */ Create empty line, lock * on. (Use Grñ alone to repeat) *R Types AltG.R: at left edge. (Don't shift) First inserts new empty line automatically if cursor line has text on it. *Letter Types AltG.Letter: at left edge. Works for all letters. Examples: *QI Types AltG.Q:i at left edge of new line, exits. *L60 Types AltG.L:60 at left edge. *B is different. It types AltG.LB: at left edge of new line, exits. *RE CR *- *RE types AltG.R:e at the left edge of new line, exits. CR just opens another line to existing Ruler margin, and *- types AltG.- but at left edge & exits. End:--- * Help.
