4. Notes on the Power Key-Option

Besides providing key shortcuts for the existing buttons that you can access using the “F2” button,
Columbus also provides a whole range of functions that to some extent are only available using the
keyboard. The various control options accessed using the keyboard are only available if the Power
Key Option is activated.
They are listed in the following table.

Key combination (s)

Description

Ins

This key creates a new waypoint and configures it with the default values.

To set the waypoint, you must place the trackball pointer over the required

position on the route.

Ctrl Ins

This key combination creates a new key point and configures it with the

default values (trackball pointer must be placed over the position on the

route).

Del

The currently selected waypoint or key point (green) is deleted. Starting and

finishing points cannot be deleted.

Ctrl c

This command copies the settings for the currently selected point into an

internal memory buffer („clipboard“).

Ctrl v

This combination applies the values that you previously copied using <Ctrl

c> to the currently selected point.

Ctrl i

This creates a new point using the values that you previously copied using

<Ctrl c> (trackball pointer must be placed over the position on the route).

Ctrl s

The currently selected point changes state from “way point” to “key point”

or vice-versa.

Enter

The currently selected point (green) is activated (blue) thus allowing you to

move it. To move it, you can use the cursor keys whilst pressing and hold-

ing down the <Nav> key (compare also <Ctrl Nav Cursor> in the Power Key

Option manual). After you have moved the point, you can “drop” it in posi-

tion by pressing <Enter>.

Esc

You can cancel moving an active point (blue) at any time by pressing <Esc>.

The point turns green and jumps back to its original position.
