Presentation of text

Justification

Default text justification is left. There are only a few exceptions to this, in specific cases, for example:

Some functions depend on the length of the key press:

￿￿In a short key press the key is held down for less than 0.8 seconds.

￿￿Normally, if the pressed key (in the given context) has functions for both a short and long key press, the short key press action is performed first at the moment when the key is pressed down, and if the key press turns out to be long, then the long key press action is performed. In a few cases - the Applications key and the
