The manual provided with Stereo Replay is very comprehensive and is
unfortunantly much too large to publish here in a 250K demonstration.
What follows however, is a short extract from the manual describing
some of the more obscure functions of the sample EDITOR. These are
mainly Keyboard only commands or Keyboard/Mouse combinations which are
less obvious to the casual user than the MENU functions.
Summary of EDITOR MOUSE controls
--------------------------------
The EDITOR supports an extensive range of POINTER and BLOCK marking
controls. These are formed as a combination of clicks with the Left
mouse button, 'Dragging' the mouse and pressing and holding a computer
keyboard System key. When a System key is involved in the action, it
must be pressed and held until AFTER the depression of the mouse
button.
KEY/MOUSE COMBINATIONS
POINTER TO MOUSE - Click Left mouse button on desired
screen position
HIGH-LIGHT MARKED AREA - Move MOUSE between two adjacent
MARKERS, hold a SHIFT key and press
the Left mouse button
HIGH-LIGHT MARKED AREAS - Move MOUSE to Right of first marker,
hold a shift key and press and hold
Left mouse button, move mouse to Left
of second MARKER and release the mouse
button.
POINTER TO MARKER LEFT - Move MOUSE to the Right of chosen
marker, hold down the CONTROL key
and click Left mouse button
POINTER TO BLOCK LEFT - Move MOUSE to the Right of the start
or end of a block, hold down the ALT
key and click the Left mouse button
Summary of KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS
-----------------------------
The list below shows a series of EDITOR functions which are normally
accessed via the MENU or from an ICON on the desktop, but for which a
series of faster access keyboard alternatives exist. Please note that
these commands require a combination of a system key (Control, Shift or
Alternate) along with a standard Alpha key. It is necessary to press
the system key before pressing the Alpha key, and release it AFTER the
Alpha key. Occasionally more than one system key is required to be
pressed, in which case they should be pressed simultaneously. The
following abbreviations have been employed;
ALT = ALTernate key CTRL = ConTRoL key SHFT = SHiFT key
The abbreviation CTRL-A requires the user to press and hold the CONTROL
key, press and release the 'A' key and finally release the CONTROL key.
