Keyboard and Mouse


Keyboard

Pressing the ESC key when a command is active will cancel the current activity of that command without canceling the entire command.

For the MOVE command, for example, this means that an object that is currently attached to the cursor will be dropped and an other object can be selected.

The keys Crsr-Up and Crsr-Down can be used in the command line of an editor window to scroll through the command history.

See also ASSIGN command.
