Moving elements in CFC
One or more selected elements can be moved with the arrow keys as one is pressing
on the <Shift> key. Another possibility is to move elements using a depressed left
mousekey. These elements are placed by releasing the left mousekey in as far as they
do not cover other elements or exceed the foreseen size of the editor. The marked
element jumps back to its initial position in such cases and a warning tone sounds.
Copying elements in CFC
One or more selected elements can be copied with the command 'Edit' 'Copy' and
inserted with the command 'Edit' 'Paste'.
Creating connections
An input of an element can be precisely connected to the output of another element.
An output of an element can be connected to the inputs of a number of other
elements.
There are a number of possibilities to connect the input of an element E2 with the
output of an element E1.
Place the mouse on the output of element E1, click with the left mousekey, hold the
left mousekey down and drag the mouse cursor onto the input of element E2 and let
the left mousekey go. A connection is made from the output of element E1 to the
mouse cursor during this dragging operation with the mouse.
Place the mouse on the input of element E2, click with the left mousekey, hold the left
mousekey down and drag the mouse cursor onto the output of element E1 and let the
left mousekey go.
Move one of the elements E1 or E2 and place it in such a way by letting go of the left
mousekey that the output of element E2 and the input of element E1 touch.
Where element E2 is a block with a free input, a connection can also be made by
dragging the mouse from an output from E1 to the trunk of E2. A connection with the
free input at the highest position on E2 will be created when the mousekey is
released. In the case where block E2 does not have a free input but is an operator
which can have an input added to it, a new input will be automatically generated.
