13.3.3 Copying and Pasting Instant Messages
You can copy, paste, and delete the messages in the “history”
window or “input” edit box, as you can do in the “word processor.”
However, since the “history” window is read only, you cannot paste,
cut, and delete the messages in the “history” window. To select a
block of text, move the cursor to the starting point, and press “enter-b
(dots 1-2).” Then, move to the end point of the text to be selected.
Press “enter-c (dots 1-4)” to copy, “enter-x (dots 1-3-4-6)” to cut.
Then, move the cursor to the place where you want to insert the
copied text (the “input” edit box, or an edit box of another program),
and press “enter-v (dots 1-2-3-6)” to paste the text. If you press
“enter-a (dot 1),” you can select all the text in the current control. You
can perform these functions using the “edit” menu.
13.3.4 Searching Messages
You can search the messages in the “history” window for text. This is
very useful especially when you have exchanged a lot of messages.
The “find” dialog box is used for this, and it works the same as the
one in the “word processor.” Press “space-m (dots 1-3-4)” to open the
menu. Press “space-4” to move to “edit,” and press “enter.” Press
“space-4” repeatedly to move to “find, and press “enter.” Or instead
of using the menu, just press “space-f (dots 1-2-4).” Then, the “find”
dialog box will appear, and the “text to find” edit box will be focused.
Type the string to look for and set the searching direction, and then
press “enter.” Then, the focus will move to the message that contains
the text. If you want to find it again in the same direction, press
“enter-f (dots 1-2-4).” If the text is not found, you will get the
message, “not found,” and the cursor will be located where you
invoked the “find” dialog box.
