Editing text
Backspace key ( b)
The backspace key ( b) allows you to remove
characters to the left of the cursor’s current posi-
tion. It differs from the left cursor key (
j),
which only moves the cursor without deleting
any characters.
To remove one character:
1 Press j, k, m or g to position the cur-
sor below the character immediately to the
right of the character that you wish to
delete.
2 Press b once.
To delete a sequence of characters:
1 Press j, k, m or g to position the cur-
sor below the character immediately to the
right of the character that you wish to
delete.
2 Hold down b until all of the characters
that you wish to delete are removed.
Delete key ( q)
The Delete key ( q) allows you to remove the
character above the cursor. After the character is
deleted, the remaining text to the right moves
one place to the left. Each time
q is pressed,
one character is deleted.
To remove one character:
1 Press j, k, m or g to position the cur-
sor below the character that you wish to
delete.
2 Press q once.
To delete a sequence of characters:
1 Press j, k, m or g to position the cur-
sor below the character that you wish to
delete.
2 Hold down q until all of the characters
that you wish to delete are removed.
Line out function ( d + q)
With the Line Out function, you can easily
remove an entire line of text.
To delete a line of text:
1 Press j, k, m or g to position the cur-
sor within the line of text that you wish to
delete.
2 Hold down d and press q once.
Clear function ( d + b)
When clearing the display before entering new
text, the Clear function can be used to choose
whether all of the text is erased and all format-
ting functions (Font, Size, Width, Style1, Style2,
Line Effects, Frame, Alignment, Text Rotation,
Tape Margin, Tape Length, Block Margin, Block
Length and Mirror Printing) are returned to their
default settings, or whether just the text is
erased.
To erase all of the text and formats:
1 Hold down d and press b.
NOTE
If the cursor is at the beginning of a line or a block
when
b is pressed, the current text line or block
is joined with the previous one.
NOTE
Each time b is pressed, one character is deleted.
NOTE
Each time q is pressed while d is held down,
one line of text is deleted.
NOTE
To return to the text without erasing anything, press
e (OR hold down d and press b ).
