ActilinoOperation of the ActilinoPage 70The following example will clarify this parameter:If you have set 'Tab Stops' to 5 and the cursor is located at column 1, then the cursor willmove to column 6 as soon as you enter a tab character. If you enter a tab again, you will belocated in column 11 and so on. If you type in a word here consisting of 7 letters and thenenter tab from that position, which would be column 18, then the cursor will move to column22.5.2.24.15 Tab Width (Global)This parameter determines the number of spaces used for displaying a tab on the Brailledisplay. It also specifies the number of spaces used to represent a tab character that isentered on the Actilino if the option 'Tab Mode' is set to "Blanks". Valid entries for thissetting are 1 through the maximum number of positions available on the Actilino (16). Thevalue in this menu item affects all tabs in a given file. In other words, you cannot set a tabwidth of 4 characters in one place and a tab width of 32 characters at another place withinthe same file. Whenever you open a file for the first time or create a new file, the defaultsetting of 4 spaces applies.Note:When a file is transferred to the PC, tab characters will not be replaced by the number ofspaces specified for that file, but instead will be transmitted as tab characters. If you openthe file later on the PC in a word processing program, the tab characters may be handled inseveral different ways. Many programs convert tab characters into a number of spaces thatis a multiple of 2 (e.g. 4 or 8). Others display tab characters without converting them at allor provide several options for conversion. Please consult the documentation for your wordprocessing program for details.5.2.24.16 Line End (Individual File)This menu item provides three options for representing the end of a line when you save afile to the flash disk. The following displays are available:• Carriage return with line feed, CRLF (\\r\\n, ^M^J) used by DOS and Windows.• Carriage return only, CR (\\r, ^M) used by Macintosh OS.• Line feed only, LF (\\n, ^J) used by Unix-based operating systems.In the case of files transmitted to the Actilino, this setting is obtained from the file itself andcannot be changed. However, you can specify this parameter for all files created on theActilino.5.2.24.17 Insert Cursor (Global)Here you can specify the form the cursor should take in insert mode. This means you alsospecify the cursor shape in overwrite mode at the same time, since the overwrite cursoralways takes the shape not chosen for the insert cursor. The two cursor formats are: anunderline “Underline” or a block “Block”. Both shapes are blinking cursors and that featurecannot be changed.5.2.24.18 Edit Mode (Individual File)Dependent on which mode (edit or view) you opened the current file, you find one of thisthree settings: |
