Navigation Keys

For navigation and text entry, use the following keys:

Attn
Interrupts the NetView program.

Backspace
Moves the cursor one position at a time to the left and deletes the character at the cursor position. All characters to the right of the cursor (in the same unprotected field) shift one position to the left.

Backtab
Moves the cursor back to the first position in the unprotected field. When the cursor is not in an unprotected field or is in the first position of an unprotected field, it moves to the first position of the previous unprotected field.

Clear
Deletes text in the presentation space and replaces all unprotected fields with blanks. Protected fields are not changed. Nulls in the presentation space are left as nulls.

Cursor Down
Moves the cursor down one position at a time, wrapping when it moves past the last position. When the cursor reaches the bottom edge of the screen, it wraps around to the top.

Cursor Left
Moves the cursor left one position at a time, wrapping when it moves past the last position. When it reaches the top left corner, it wraps around to the bottom right corner.

Cursor Right
Moves the cursor right one position at a time, wrapping when it moves past the last position. When it reaches the bottom right corner, it wraps around to the top left corner.

Delete Character
Deletes a character from an unprotected field.

The character at the cursor position is deleted and all characters to the right of the cursor (up to the last character of the same unprotected field) shift one position to the left. Null characters are inserted into the rightmost end of the field as the characters in the field are shifted left.

Enter
Transmits data from the screen to the NetView program.

End Field
Moves the cursor to the right of the last character in the same unprotected field.

Home
Moves the cursor to the first input-position of the screen.

Insert
Toggles insert mode on or off. When the keyboard is in insert mode, the Insert symbol appears in the operator information area.

The Insert option enables you to insert a character into an existing unprotected field without writing over existing data. Null characters, displayed as blanks, must be in the rightmost position of the field where the insert will be performed.

When a new character is inserted at the cursor position, characters to the right of the cursor will shift one position to the right.

New Line
Moves the cursor to the first input position in the next line.

If there are no input positions, the cursor moves to the top left corner of the screen. If the cursor is in the last position of the screen, it wraps around to the first position.

PA1, PA2, PF1-PF24
The program attention keys and the program function keys are initially set from the host. Enter the DISPFK command to list the settings of these keys. You can change the functions associated with particular keys using the Key Remap push button on the toolbar.
Note:In some environments, the PF keys on the keyboard may not work. In this case, use the console PF key push buttons.

SysReq
Not used for navigation. Treated as an invalid command by the host.

Tab Field
Moves the cursor from the current position to the first position of the next unprotected field. If there are no unprotected fields after the current cursor position, the cursor moves to the first character position of the first unprotected field on the screen. When the cursor is on the attribute character of the unprotected field, the cursor is moved to the first position in the field.
