Mouse and Keyboard Assignment

TXTextControl has a built-in mouse and keyboard interface: users select, move, copy and edit text, move around in tables and insert hyphens and breaks with the mouse and the keyboard. The pages below list each mouse action and key and what the control does in response.

The general mouse actions and keys come first; tables and hyphens have pages of their own.

Pages in This Section

• Mouse Assignment: clicks, drags and scroll keys and what they select, move or copy.
• Keyboard Assignment: keys that move the caret, edit text and insert breaks and special spaces.
• Additional Mouse and Keyboard Assignment in Tables: keys and clicks that select cells, rows and columns in tables.
