4 . Information on the
Power Key Option
Besides providing shortcuts for the existing controls that you
can access using the “
F2” key, Columbus 3 also provides a
whole range of further functions that to some extent are only
available using the keyboard. The various control options that
can be accessed using the keyboard are only available if the
Power Key Option is activated.
Ins: This key creates a new waypoint and configures it with the
default values. To set the waypoint, you must place the track-
ball 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 pre-
viously 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 while pressing and holding 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
position by pressing <Enter>. It now becomes green.
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.
Home: The starting point of the route is selected (green).
End: The finishing point of the route is selected (green).
Page Up: The next point along the route towards the starting
point is selected (green).
Page Down: The next point along the route towards the
finishing point is selected (green).
