space. They are called Chorded commands (see below).
1. Regular commands.
Regular commands can be found in the menu or entered manually: begin with the
Command key, and finish with the Enter key.
For example, to turn the Word Wrap command on, you may
- enter the menu by short-pressing the Command key, scroll down to Emboss
menu item (with down-key of the manipulator or the ring), find Word-Wrap
command, and press Command key or Right Arrow key on the manipulator.
- Alternatively, long-press the Command key, type WW, and then hit the Enter
key.
Depending on the original setting, your Mountbatten will say "on" or "off". Some
commands, like Word Wrap, are "toggle" commands, meaning they toggle between
an on and off state each time they are invoked. These commands are identified as
toggles after the command description.
During browsing the menu, you will see the format of each command at the end of
each menu item. For example, you will see {WW} after the "Word wrap toggle"
menu name.
After the command format, you will find the command's state in question. You will
see either an (OFF) or (ON) for the exemplary WW - it is a toggle.
Note:
Where numbers are needed in command, they can be entered as described
below:
- when entering commands using the menu - you will be presented a list of
choices,
- when entering commands manually, you need to use the Number sign plus
character or as a "dropped" or "lower" character (for example, a dropped
"A" letter is dot 2 - one dot lower than the original letter; dropped "C" is dots
2 and 5).
Note:
You may enter commands with an external QWERTY keyboard attached
through USB. To do it, wrap the command text with curly brackets: "{" and "}"
characters. The curly brackets are used in this manual to delimit commands too.
To enter the MB Tutor menu using a QWERTY keyboard press the Windows key.
2. Chorded commands
Chorded commands use the space bar pressed with designated letter key
combination.
There is only a limited number of chorded commands, and they can be used at any
time.
Some chorded commands have their alternatives - regular commands listed in the
"Command" column in the table below.
