KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS
=====================================================================
All windows have the following keyboard commands..
Use them when the window is active by pressing the CTRL key and the
letter, together.
Control J - Will cause the active GUI to jump to the next available
Public Screen, if any. An event - xONJUMP ScreenName -
will be called every time this happens (if defined) puting
the name of the new screen in the above variable so that
you can SetScreen any other accompanying GUIs to this new
screen also.
Control W - This shortcut will bring up a requester, asking you whether
to save the current window size as the default SMALL or
NORMAL (Big) window size. Thereafter, every time the GUI
is loaded, it will be automatically resized to these sizes.
(see also the info on Resizing )
Control V - Will print out a list of all the variables currently in
use.
Control D - Will start or stop DEBUG. When in debug mode, Gui4Cli will
print every command as it executes it, so you can see what
it is doing and catch various errors.
Control E - Edit current window : Starts the Editor specified in the
Tool Types or C:Ed, passing it the File name of the Window
Program as argument.
