Abandoning Edit Operations
Occasionally the user will no sooner have pressed some edit key than he will realize this
was a mistake. Certain edit operations can be abandoned: C
UT
, C
OPY
, I
NSERT
and E
RASE
. When
one of these keys is pressed, and before it is released, simultaneously press E
XIT
or S
TOP
. This
is equivalent to the edit key never having been pressed in the first place; it works because these
keys act when released, not when depressed.
If any of these four edit keys has already been released, pressing E
XIT
or S
TOP
will have
no effect. In this case, use the U
NDO
key.
