Results Keystrokes
Results has several predefined function keys that let you perform useful operations with a single keystroke or a combination of keystrokes. Table 2–1 lists the function keys that you use in Results.
Table 2–1: Results Function Key Defaults Key Action GO (F1) Runs the highlighted menu option or accepts an entered field value. HELP (F2 or CTRL-W)1 Enters the Results Help system. To exit from Help press END (F4, CTRL-E, or ESC). MODE (F9 or CTRL-T or INS)1 Switches between insert and overstrike modes. In insert mode, each character you type inserts itself where the cursor is positioned. The cursor and the character under it move one space to the right. In overstrike mode, each character you type replaces the character at the position of the cursor. Overstrike is the default mode.NOTE: In some lists, pressing this key toggles to other information. For example, in lists of field names, this key toggles between the field names and the field descriptions. END (F4 or CTRL-E or ESC)1 Exits from the window or operation without saving entries or edits. If you are in the middle of a database operation, such as updating a record, and you press this key, the system will discard your changes. If you press this key within a module’s Main Menu, you must select the Exit option to exit from the current module. GET (F5 or CTRL-G)1 Invokes the expert mode in the WHERE clause builder. In the Labels Editor and in expert mode, this key allows you to insert a field at the cursor position. PUT (F6 or CTRL-P)1 Invokes the ask mode in the value of the WHERE clause builder.
Table 2–2 lists other keys you use in Results. You will learn more about these keys and Results windows as you work through the tutorial and examples in this guide.
