7. KEYBOARD FUNCTIONS
This chapter describes the MCS-32 accelerator keys. The keys described in this section are
grouped primarily according to location on the keyboard and secondarily by related function.
7.1. Introduction
Table 1 provides a quick reference to all of the MCS-32 keyboard and keypad functions. These
accelerators are also illustrated in Fig. 59, and discussed in more detail in the remainder of the
chapter.
The accelerators are available only in the MCS-32 window. The Title Bar must be highlighted
with the active title bar color (as set up in Windows Control Panel). In addition, the active cursor
— or input focus — must be in the spectrum window. Similar to other Windows applications,
the input focus can be switched between MCS-32 and other applications by clicking the
Windows Taskbar, pressing <Alt + Tab>, or, if the inactive window is visible, pointing with the
mouse at some spot in the inactive window and clicking.
The multi-key functions, such as <Alt + 1> or <Shift +
6
>, are executed by holding down the
first key (e.g., <Alt>, <Shift>, or <Ctrl>) while pressing the key that follows the “+” sign in the
brackets, then releasing both keys simultaneously. Functions that use the keypad keys begin with
the word Keypad, e.g., Keypad<5>.
As usual for any Windows application, the menus are accessed by clicking them with the mouse,
or by using the Alt key plus the key that matches the underlined letter in the menu item name.
For example, the multi-key combination to activate the File menu is <Alt + F>.
Note that the MCS-32 accelerator keys do not interfere with Windows menu operations or task
switching. For example, when a menu is active (i.e., pulled down), the <
7
>/<
6
> and <
8
>/<
9
>
keys revert to their normal Windows functions of moving across the menu bar and scrolling
up/down within a menu, respectively. As soon as the menu is closed, they behave as MCS-32
accelerators again.
7.2. Marker and Display Function Keys
7.2.1. Next/Previous Channel <
6
>/<
7
>
The right and left arrow keys move the marker by one displayed pixel in the corresponding
direction. This may represent a jump of more than one spectral data memory channel, especially
if the horizontal scale in channels is larger than the width in pixels of the window (see the
discussion in Section 5.2).
