Cursor Movement

The cursor can be moved using the keys on the PC’s keyboard.

To move to the preferred field, use the mouse, cursor keys, TAB, or
SHIFT+TAB keys.

To accept the change and then move to the next field, press TAB.

To jump to the boundaries of a table, press the HOME, CTRL+ HOME,
END, or CTRL+END keys on your keyboard. You can’t send the cursor
to a read-only field.

To scroll to the top or bottom of a long table, press the PAGE UP or
PAGE DOWN keys. You can also “drag” the scroll box by clicking in the
scroll bar, or by clicking and then holding on the scroll arrows.

To create a new row at the bottom of a table, press the INSERT key or
move the cursor to the last row and then press the ENTER key.

Entry/Edit Within a Table

When a field requires a selection to be made from a fixed list, clicking on
the drop-down arrow will show the available choices (or press SPACE BAR
or ALT+DOWN). Click on the preferred choice. (You can also enter the first
letter in the list item name; enter the letter again to move to the next item
that starts with that letter, then press TAB to move to the next field.)

Spaces are not allowed in some cases

. In tables where this is the case, the

editor will not allow them to be entered.

When creating a name for a Maestro configuration file, it’s a good practice
to use letters and numbers only. See Configuration Set Naming Rules

on

page 140

for the punctuation that can be used in names.
