Mouse & Keyboard Shortcuts

• Main window
  
  
• Text input fields
  
  Most text fields use a combination of CUA (PC) and Unix-style keybindings.  Text can be marked, copied, pasted, saved to a file as well as transfer to other main panel controls.  A right click on any text control will open a context sensitive menu for that particular control.  A full list can be found on the FLTK web site.
  
  The received/transmitted text widgets use CUA key bindings with some modifications:
  
  
• RX text
  This widget is read-only and ignores shortcuts that would modify its contents.  See logbook for details on the Rx right click popup menu system.
  
  
• TX text
  The text that has already been sent is protected, but can be deleted one character at a time with the Backspace key.  Right clicking on the Tx text panel opens the following popup menu:
  
  

  Fldigi Receiving Editing Tx text Fldigi Transmitting

  Select: Transmit put the program into the transmit operation Receive during a transmit or tune, end the transmit and restore receive operation Abort during a transmit, receive without waiting for the modem to finish sending Send image for MFSK only, send an image using MFSKpic mode Clear clear all of the text Cut delete the marked text (by left click drag over text) Copy copy the marked text to the clipboard Paste the clipboard text to the current text insertion point Insert file select a file from file browser to insert in text at insertion point Word wrap turn word wrap on/off

  
  The Tx panel is fully drag and drop aware.  That means you can add a file to the transmit text by simply opening up a file manager (different for different OS and choice of desktop).  Select the file from the manager and then drag and drop it onto the Tx panel.  The mouse pointer will move the cursor insert point for the drop.
  
  A number of additional shortcuts can be found in the Keyboard Operation section.
