Part Focusing System

Return to 'Introduction to the HW HTML Drafting Project'

One Large Star Centred on a Ribbon

This is a fairly important thing to tell about because we often will need to change the focus from one part to another so that we can make changes.

It is very easy to change the focus using the mouse, just click on the part that you want to focus on and... that's it!

From the keyboard it's a little different, but it's easy too.

The difference is that we have more control from the keyboard when it come to changing the part focus.

The following shows the keyboard buttons that will change the part focus.

The buttons are almost exactly the same as VI.

Part Focus Keys

Start from the top and left of the drawing:

$ = move focus to the last part

^ = move foucs to the first part

__ = move focus to the first part

This one is important for speed:

| = move focus to the first part in the next colour group

The following two cycle left and right:

, (comma) = move focus left

. (period) = move focus right

The last two are most useful if we remember to use the V button to re-flow the document.

This last on is more interesting, it's the apostrophe key:

' then use a letter key = move focus to the marked part

That one is very similar to VI as well.

Wow! That's all, we now know how to change focus.
