THE - The Hessling Editor
The "Enter" key
in THE

 
The "Enter" key functions differently in THE than in XEDIT. The action of the "Enter" key depends on the location of the cursor and what commands are pending:
  • When the cursor is in the command line field:

    • If a command string has been entered on the command line, pressing the the "Enter" key with the cursor on the command line causes the command to be executed.

    • If no commands are entered on the command line and the cursor is on the command line, pressing the "Enter" key does nothing but position the cursor to the beginning of the command line.

  • When the cursor is in the prefix area:

    • If there are pending prefix commands and the cursor is in the prefix area, pressing the "Enter" key causes the prefix commands to be executed.

    • If no prefix commands are pending and the cursor is in the prefix area, pressing the "Enter" key causes the cursor to move to the command line.

  • When the cursor is in the filearea:

    • If the cursor is in the filearea, pressing the "Enter" key causes the cursor to move to the command line.
