Entry Assist
If the display is in Insert mode and a word is inserted on a line, any word pushed beyond
the right margin may be wrapped to the next line if the next line contains enough spaces
after its last word or its margins contain enough nulls to make room for the wrapped
word. If the word cannot be wrapped onto the next line, input is inhibited and the Too
Much symbol is displayed on the status row.
Move Cursor to Next Word (Autorepeat)
To move the cursor to the next word, press and hold the Alt key, then press the Cursor
Right key (
). The cursor moves to the first character in the next word, or, if currently
in a word at the end of a line, to the first space or null character following the current
word. The cursor does not move into protected fields with this function.
The cursor is moved to the next word regardless of the location of the margins. If text is
located outside the margins, the cursor moves to the text without recognizing the margins.
The cursor wraps to the next row only when there are no more words in the current row.
When the last word is reached on the last row, the cursor is wrapped to the first word on
the first row of the display.
Continuing to hold down the Alt and Cursor Right keys causes the function to repeat
automatically.
Move Cursor to Previous Word (Autorepeat)
Press and hold the Alt key, then press the Cursor Left key ( ) to move the cursor to
the beginning of the current word (or, if already at the beginning of a word, to the beginning
of the word to the left). If the cursor is located at the first word on a row, it is wrapped to
the beginning of the last word on the previous row. If at the top left position on the
screen, the cursor is wrapped to the beginning of the last word on the screen.
Continuing to hold down the Alt and Cursor Left keys causes the function to repeat
automatically.
Delete Next Word
The Delete Word key ( ) is the alternate function of the Delete Character key ( )
when the display is in Document mode. Pressing the Delete Word key erases the character
at the cursor location and the remainder of the word to the right of the cursor. If the
cursor is on the first character of a word, the whole word is erased. If the cursor is on a
space or null, only the space or null is erased. Punctuation and spaces following a word
are also erased (unless only part of the word is erased, in which case the space or null
remains).
When a word is deleted, the cursor remains in place and subsequent data on the line
moves to the left. Shifting does not occur for attributes, characters to the right of attributes,
or subsequent lines of data. If deletion is attempted on an attribute or a protected field,
input is inhibited and the Go Elsewhere symbol (
X
) is displayed on the status
row. Press the Reset key to enable additional entry.
