Using Shortcut Keys A great deal of your application's functionality can be called up by using shortcut keys. For example, the Command+O Ctrl+O shortcut keys are shown next to the Open entry in the File menu. If you want to access this function by using the shortcut keys, press and hold down Command Ctrl and then press the O key. Release both keys after the dialog appears. When operating your application, you can choose between using the mouse or the keyboard for almost all of the operations available. Calling Menus With Shortcut Keys Some of the characters shown on the menu bar are underlined. You can access these menus directly by pressing the underlined character together with the ALT key. Once the menu is opened, you will again find underlined characters. You can access these menu items directly by simply pressing the underlined character key. Using Shortcut Keys to Control Dialogs There is always one element highlighted in any given dialog - usually shown by a broken frame. This element, which can be either a button, an option field, an entry in a list box or a check box, is said to have the focus on it. If the focal point is a button, pressing Enter runs it as if you had clicked it. A check box is toggled by pressing the spacebar. If an option field has the focus, use the arrow keys to change the activated option field in that area. Use the Tab key to go from one element or area to the next one, use Shift + Tab to go in the reverse direction. Pressing ESC closes the dialog without saving changes. If you place the focus on a button, not only will you see the dotted line framing the name of the button, but also a thicker shadow under the button selected. This indicates that if you exit the dialog by pressing the Enter key, it is the equivalent of pressing that button itself. Shortcut Keys for Mouse Actions If you are using drag-and-drop, selecting with the mouse or clicking objects and names, you can use the keys Shift, Command Ctrl and occasionally Option Alt to access additional functionality. The modified functions available when holding down keys during drag-and-drop are indicated by the mouse pointer changing form. When selecting files or other objects, the modifier keys can extend the selection - the functions are explained where applicable. Practical Text Input Fields You can open a context menu, which contains some of the most often-used commands. Use the shortcut keys Shift+Command Ctrl+S to open the Special Characters dialog to insert one or more special characters. Use Command Ctrl+A to select the entire text. Use the right or left arrow key to remove the selection. Double-click a word to select it. A triple-click in a text input field selects the entire field. A triple-click in a text document selects the current sentence. Use Command Ctrl+Del to delete everything from the cursor position to the end of the word. By using Command Ctrl and right or left arrow key, the cursor will jump from word to word; if you also hold down the Shift key, one word after the other is selected. INSRT is used to switch between the insert mode and the overwrite mode and back again. Drag-and-drop can be used within and outside of a text box. The Command Ctrl+Z shortcut keys are used to undo modifications one step at a time; the text will then have the status it had before the first change.

$[officename] has an AutoComplete function which activates itself in some text and list boxes. For example, enter c:\a ~/a into the URL field and the AutoComplete function displays the first file or first directory found on the C: drive in your home folder that starts with the letter "a". Use the down arrow key to scroll through the other files and directories. Use the right arrow key to also display an existing subdirectory in the URL field. Quick AutoComplete is available if you press the End key after entering part of the URL. Once you find the document or directory you want, press Enter.
