ActilinoOperation of the ActilinoPage 695.2.24.10 Margin Action (Global)You can choose one of three different types of actions when the right edge of the display isreached within the Editor:"None": No action."Bell": Emit a beep, depending on the settings for signal tones."Wrap": Look for the beginning of the word currently being typed and wrap it to the nextline. A beeping signal is also emitted. The default setting for Margin Action is "None".5.2.24.11 Right Margin (Global)To facilitate text input, you can specify a right margin. Possible values are 0 to 32767 withthe default value set to 75. The previous option "Margin Action" determines what the Editorwill do when the right edge is reached.5.2.24.12 Word Wrap (Global)For this parameter, you can choose either “Yes” or “No”. “Yes” means that a word that doesnot fit completely on the end of the Braille display is suppressed, if the cursor is not locatedin the currently displayed line. If the cursor is not in the current line of text, the word will bedisplayed in part and then again completely after the display was scrolled by using thereading keys.If word wrap is turned off (set to “No”), as many letters of the word as possible are displayedon the Braille elements. The default setting is “Yes”.Note:This word wrap function applies only to the reading of text; it is not active while entering text.5.2.24.13 Tab Mode (Global)This setting determines which characters will be inserted by the Editor when you input a tabcharacter. Two options are available:• "Tabs (\t)": Preferably, tab characters will be inserted, but this depends on thecurrently active setting for 'Tab Stops' (see next section). This option is especiallyuseful if you desire to keep your files as compact as possible.• "Blanks": For each tab character, the number of spaces specified under 'TabWidth' will be inserted into the text. This option is appropriate if you want to ensurethat a file is formatted exactly like it was on the Actilino once it has beentransmitted to your word processing program on the PC. The disadvantage hereis that you cannot delete the tab character with one keystroke. All of the spacesinserted for the tab must be deleted individually.Remember, the representation of tab characters on the Braille display is always by a numberof spaces, regardless of the option specified in Tab Mode.5.2.24.14 Tab Stops (Global)Valid arguments for this value are from 0 up to the maximum number of positions on yourActilino (16). If you specify 0, either a tab character or the number of spaces set under 'TabWidth' (see next section) will be inserted into the text each time you input the tab character,independent of your position within the text. Any value greater than 0 results in the currentline being filled up with either tab characters or spaces in such a way that a tab stop is setat every nth position (e.g. every 5th position). |
