Hi, Paul:
I hope this is the information you need. Most of the good cursor information
is in chapter seven.
When you are dealing with text organized in sentences and paragraphs then
commands to move the cursor by sentence or paragraph are very useful. For
example: READ with O moves the cursor to the beginning of the next sentence;
READ with 9 moves the cursor to the beginning of the next paragraph. This mode
is referred to as "Sentence and Paragraph reading mode." However when working
with poetry or lists, for example, moving a line at a time is more useful than
moving a sentence. To allow the most efficient cursor movement for the text
you are working with, KeySoft provides 3 cursor movement modes. These affect
the operation of the READ with U, I, and O keys and also the READ with 7-8-9
keys. The operation of CONTROL with I and CONTROL with 8 key commands also
changes. There are two other reading modes that are useful in different
situations. If you select Line Reading Mode, the previous reading commands act
as follows: READ with O reads the next line; READ with 9 reads the !
next section. In Line Reading Mode, the word "section" has a specific meaning.
The "Current Section" starts at the last blank line before the cursor, and
continues until the first blank line after the cursor. Similarly, the "Next
Section" starts at the first blank line after the cursor, and continues until
the following blank line. Line Mode is useful when you are concerned with the
layout of the document. Among other purposes, it's a good way of checking for
blank lines. The third Reading Mode is called Column Reading Mode, and acts as
follows: READ with O moves the cursor down a line but keeping it in the same
column. It reads the current word on this line; READ with 9 reads the next
section. Column Mode is effective for reviewing text that is laid out in a
table. It allows you to move up or down a column in a table, reading entries
one at a time. Although we have only given two examples, the current Cursor
Movement Mode affects all reading commands that relate to !
sentences and paragraphs. This is also true for deletion commands. For
instance, in Sentence and Paragraph mode, CONTROL with I deletes to the end of
the sentence, but in Line Mode it deletes to the end of the line. The Cursor
Movement Mode also affects the Quick Mark commands in the Block Menu. To
change the Cursor Movement Mode, press READ with S. The mode cycles around
with each press, and KeySoft displays the corresponding mode. 7.7 Moving to
the Start of the Next Line. It is possible to move the cursor to the first
position on the next line without inserting a New Line in the document. To do
this, press READ with ENTER. KeySoft says "New Line" or "Line Break" followed
by the first word on the next line. 7.8 Moving to the Next Tab. It is
possible to move the cursor to the next tab position without inserting a tab
into the document. To do this, press READ with APOSTROPHE. KeySoft will move
the cursor to the next tab position and display the word under the curso!
r. Note that this command jumps to the next tab position, regardless of
whether there is actually a tab indicator in the text.
