- %C%%H2%PipeDream Help file
-
-
- This file gives a summary of the mouse operations available in
- PipeDream 4. It is intended as a reminder rather than an exhaustive
- reference. For more information refer to the section called Caret
- Movements in the PipeDream 4 Reference Guide.
-
- %C%%H2%Mouse operations
-
- Many of these mouse operations are described interactively in the RISC
- OS !Help application when used in conjunction with PipeDream 4
-
- %H2%Opening a Pipedream window
-
- To open a new PipeDream window, click Select on the PipeDream icon on
- the icon bar.
-
- %H2%Bringing up menus and choosing commands
-
- With the pointer in a PipeDream window, click Menu to bring up the top
- level menu.
-
- To bring up a sub-menu, drag the pointer over the arrow to the right of
- the menu name.
-
- To choose a command, click Select on the command name. This carries
- out the command and removes the menu from the screen. If you click
- Adjust, the menu remains on the screen.
-
-
- %H2%Loading documents
-
- To load a PipeDream document, either double-click on its icon, or drag
- its icon onto the Pipedream icon on the icon bar.
-
- To insert a file at the caret position, drag the file's icon into the
- window.
-
-
- %H2%Positioning the caret
-
- Always use the Select key to position the caret within slots. Normally
- the caret will be positioned in the slot you are pointing at. However,
- if there is a text slot to the left of the slot you are pointing at,
- PipeDream will position the caret in the slot to the left. This
- prevents you accidentally typing in columns to the right of where you
- expected.
-
- text to left
-
- So, if you click above between the v and the ^, PipeDream will place
- the caret after the word left.
-
- If you really want to position the caret to the right of a text slot,
- hold down Ctrl when you click Select. Alternatively a single click in
- the column border will move the caret into that column. So if you
- click between the v and ^ above the caret will go into column A. If
- you then click on the D in the column border at the top of the window
- PipeDream will move the caret into column D.
-
-
- %H2%Marking blocks
-
- To mark a block, hold down the Select button and drag from the
- top-left of the block to the bottom right.
-
- To mark complete columns, drag Select across the column borders.
-
- To mark complete rows, drag Select down the row borders.
-
- To mark one complete row, double-click Select in the row border.
-
- To mark one complete column, double-click Select in the column border.
-
- To clear any marked block, click in the Mark Block box at the
- intersection of the row and column borders.
-
- To mark the whole document, click Select in the Mark Block box at the
- intersection of the row and column borders.
-
- To adjust a marked block after marking it, move the pointer to the
- point at which you now want the block to end and click Adjust. The
- marked block will now end where you click. The starting point will
- remain the same.
-
- %H2%Entering slot references into the editing line
-
- To enter a slot reference into the editing line whilst you are editing
- an expression, click Select in the slot. The slot can be in the
- current window or in another, in which case you will insert an external
- reference.
-
- %H2%Scrolling the window
-
- %H2%Up and down
-
- Position the pointer on the scroll arrow and click Select to scroll one
- line in the direction of the arrow. Hold down Select to continue
- scrolling. Click Adjust to scroll in the other direction. The caret
- always remains within the PipeDream window, staying as near as possible
- to its original position.
-
- Position the pointer on the darker part of the scroll bar (above the
- slider to scroll up, below the slider to scroll down) and click Select.
- The next windowful of the document will appear. Click Adjust to scroll
- back the other way. The caret always remains within the PipeDream
- window, moving, if necessary, to the point nearest to its position
- before scrolling.
-
- To move a long distance up or down drag the slider in the vertical
- scroll bar.
-
- %H2%Left and right
-
- Click on the left and right arrows in the horizontal scroll bars to
- move one column left or right.
-
- Click in the dark grey area of the scroll bar to move the window one
- windowful left or right.
