DIRECTION COMMANDS

At Top Level, the arrow keys move the bar cursor from one visible headline to another, disregarding the structure of the outline. The down and right arrow keys move the bar cursor to the next headline down, while the up and left arrow keys move the bar cursor to the next headline up. To move the bar cursor to an unexpanded (hidden) headline, you must expand it first. The command prefix tells ThinkTank how many headlines

to move in the indicated direction.

When any menu is displayed, the left and right arrow keys move the menu cursor from one option to another. Pressed repeatedly they cycle the menu cursor through the options; you can also use the space bar to switch from one menu line to another.

Within the text editor, the right and left arrow keys move the flashing cursor to the next and previous characters respectively. The up arrow key (or CTRL—O) moves the flashing cursor one line up, and the down arrow key (or CTRL—K) moves it one line down.

The arrow keys have additional functions at various points throughout ThinkTank. For example, while entering a new headline or paragraph, you can use the left arrow as a backspace key. The program will generally prompt you about these additional functions.
