The TEXTWIN control allows the user to view, enter or modify large sections of multi-line text. Several edit key sequences are recognised by the system. These key sequences are mainly uEmacs compatible (which means that most are also BASH and Emacs compatible). These edit key sequences are:
ctl-p cursor up ctl-n cursor down ctl-b cursor left ctl-f cursor right ctl-a cursor home (start of line) ctl-e cursor end (end of line) ctl-z page up esc-v page up ctl-v page down ctl-h delete char left ctl-d delete char right esc-d delete word right (move to copy buffer) esc-ctl-h delete word left (move to copy buffer) ctl-k delete to end of line (move to copy buffer) ctl-y yank (undelete - copy from copy buffer to current cursor position) The mouse can also be used to highlight text to be placed in the copy buffer. ctl-y (yank) is then used to copy the text to a new location (where the cursor has been moved to).
The mouse can be used to reposition the text cursor.
