Using the keyboard

I tried to optimize the work flow for the use with the keyboard. So all of the important functions are reachable this way.

Tab

The cursor is moved to the smart search input field. If you start typing an expression in this field, KVocTrain will search the next best match after each key. The cursor in the vocabulary is then moved to this location.

If you press Return it will move to the next match.

If you only want entries that match from the beginning of the expression you must press Ctrl+Return.

Pressing Shift+Tab or Tab will move back to the vocabulary.

Left Arrow

The cursor in the vocabulary is moved one column to the left. If it has reached the leftmost column, nothing happens.

Right Arrow

The cursor in the vocabulary is moved one column to the right. If it has reached the rightmost column, nothing happens.

Up Arrow

The cursor in the vocabulary is moved one row upwards. If it has reached the topmost row, nothing happens.

Down Arrow

The cursor in the vocabulary is moved one row downwards. If it has reached the bottommost row, nothing happens.

Page Up

The cursor in the vocabulary is moved one page (the amount of visible lines -1) upwards. If the cursor would exceed the first possible row, nothing happens.

Page Down

The cursor in the vocabulary is moved one page downwards. If the cursor would exceed the last possible row, nothing happens.

Ctrl+Return

Invoke the Edit Properties dialog for modification of this entry.

Ins

Appends a new row at the end of the vocabulary. The cursor is moved to the entry in the Original row. Edit the items in place or invoke the Edit Properties dialog for modification of this entry.

If you have selected smart appending you are prompted to enter originals and their translations until you stop by pressing the ESC key.

Del

After confirmation of a safety dialog, the currently selected row or selection is removed from the vocabulary.

Ctrl++ or Ctrl+-

By pressing Ctrl and one of the two number pad keys, + or -, you can choose the previous or next item in the combo box determining the current lesson. If you do not have a number pad you may also use the normal + or - keys.
