CVIM2 System Configuration: An Overview

Throughout the configuration process, names must be entered for files,
inspections, tools, and various other items. At each point where a name is
required, a standard keyboard panel appears on the screen, as illustrated in
Figure 2.13.

Figure 2.13 Example: The Keyboard Panel (Lowercase)

Lowercase (default)

Note that the printable characters appear in lowercase by default.

Most of the keys are straightforward in their operation; that is, their functions
are analogous to the keys on a computer keyboard. When you pick any
printable character, it appears in the name bar immediately above the keys:
The character in the key cap is the one that will appear in the name bar. The
maximum number of characters that you can enter depends on the context.

Here is a brief description of the keys:

Alphanumeric keys –– These are the printable characters, and include
lowercase and uppercase alpha characters, digits, and punctuation
characters.

Tab key –– This key moves the cursor four places to the right of the
previous tab stop.

Left and right arrow keys –– These keys move the cursor one place to
the left or right.

Home key –– This key returns the cursor to the leftmost position.

End key –– This key moves the cursor one place to the right of the
rightmost character in the name bar.

Ins (insert) key –– This key enables you to insert a character to the left of
the present cursor position. When you pick the insert key, and the
blinking cursor changes to a block (

J), the insert mode is enabled. When

you pick the insert key, and the cursor changes to an underscore (

Ċ), the

typeover mode is enabled.
