Functions Ch. 3 Functions Editing text Backspace key (b) The backspace key (b) allows you to remove characters to the left of the cursor's current position. It differs from the left cursor key (j), which only moves the cursor without deleting any characters. 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. To remove one character: 1 Press j, k, m or g to position the cursor below the character immediately to the right of the character that you wish to delete. 2 Press b once. NOTE Each time b is pressed, one character is deleted. To delete a sequence of characters: 1 Press j, k, m or g to position the cursor 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 cursor 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 cursor 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 cursor within the line of text that you wish to delete. 2 Hold down d and press q once. NOTE Each time q is pressed while d is held down, one line of text is deleted. 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 formatting 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 To return to the text without erasing anything, press e (OR hold down d and press b).
