With the
[Alternate]
key pressed,
the four
arrow keys control the
mouse
pointer on the GEM Desktop instead
of the text cursor.
Each press of the
cursor
key
moves the
pointer
8
pixels. If
[Shift]
and [Alternate]
are both held down
together, the mouse
pointer
moves one
pixel
with
each
press
of the cursor key.
The
[Insert]
and
[Alternate] keys
function
as
the left mouse
button when pressed
together. The [Clr Home]
and
[Alternate]
keys
function
as
the right
mouse button
when pressed together. For
more information on
using
cursor controls rather
than the mouse
to
activate the
ST
Computer
windows, see Chapter
4,
Getting
Started.
The
[Esc]
key updates the top
or active window on
the GEM
Desktop.
If
you
have
a
disk window
opened and then
insert
a
new
disk into the
drive, pressing
[Esc]
changes
the window display to
show
the files on the new disk.
