Edit Mode
There are a number of circumstances in which things need to be edited – EPG View names, pattern titles and keywords, for example. At these times iGuide enters Edit Mode, allowing text to be entered via the remote control.
Text is entered using the number keys in a system similar to that of a mobile phone. Pressing a number key repeatedly cycles through the following characters:
1 | PERIOD, COMMA, DASH, QUOTE, ‘(‘, ‘)’, ‘$’, ‘£’, ‘!’, ‘1’ |
2 | ‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’, ‘2’ |
3 | ‘D’, ‘E’, ‘F’, ‘3’ |
4 | ‘G’, ‘H’, ‘I’, ‘4’ |
5 | ‘J’, ‘K’, ‘L’, ‘5’ |
6 | ‘M’, ‘N’, ‘O’, ‘6’ |
7 | ‘P’, ‘Q’, ‘R’, ‘S’, ‘7’ |
8 | ‘T’, ‘U’, ‘V’, ‘8’ |
9 | ‘W’, ‘X’, ‘Y’, ‘Z’, ‘9’ |
0 | SPACE, ‘*’, ‘?’, |
As with some mobile phones, pausing a short period forces the cursor to move on one character, so multiple characters from the same key can be entered. For example, to produce the letters ‘C’ and ‘A’ for the word ‘CAR’, press the [2] key three times in quick succession for the letter ‘C’ and then pause. After a short period the cursor will move forward one space, allowing you to press the [2] key again to produce the letter ‘A’.
Other key actions are available in edit mode:
[RED]: Change case from lower to upper or vice versa
[GREEN]: Delete one character
[YELLOW]: Clear the line completely
[OK]: Finish editing and save the result
[EXIT]: Finish editing but don’t save the result
