In Tera Desktop you can also control them by selecting menu items or by pressing various keys. These keyboard keys produce specific effects: [Clr Home] Jump to top of window [Shift] [Clr Home] Jump to bottom of window [<user defined shortcut>] Toggle the Iconified state of the top window [<user defined shortcut>] Toggle the Full state of the top window [<user defined shortcut>] Close the top window [<user defined shortcut>] Close all windows [<user defined shortcut>] Duplicate the top window [<user defined shortcut>] Cycle windows [Cursor (arrow)] These keys scroll the window in the direction of the arrow. If a [Shift] key is pressed at the same time as the arrow key, the window scrolls by a whole page, otherwise by a single line or column. On systems using a PC keyboard, [Page up] and [Page down] keys have the same effect as [Shift][Cursor up] and [Shift][Cursor down]. There are also a number of other keyboard commands which are specific to Directory windows or Text windows. It is possible to 'iconify' the windows of TeraDesk in the AESes which support that operation (i.e. which are AES 4 compatible). An iconified window is reduced in size so that it contains just one icon: a file, a folder or a disk drive, depending on the window content. The actual size of an iconified window is determined by the AES. In some AESes this is settable by the user; in such case it is recommended to set it to 80x64 pixels. An iconified window is automatically moved to a position determined by the AES, usually to some unocupied space near the lower left border of the screen. When a window is deiconified it will automatically return to the position and size it had at the moment it was iconified. To iconify a window, click on the window gadget, usually represented by a triangle, immediately left to the 'Fuller' gadget in the upper right corner of the window. Double-click on an iconified window in order to deiconify it. A window can also be iconified (or vice versa) by selecting the 'Iconified' menu item. The 'Fuller' gadget in the upper right corner of TeraDesk windows causes the window to expand in order to show as much as possible of the window content on the screen. Note that if the complete content of the window can be displayed on the screen, the window will be expanded only as much as needed - unless any of the [Shift] keys are pressed while the 'Fuller' gadget is clicked. In the latter case, the window will be expanded to fill the desktop. Window size may in fact be slightly smaller than the desktop size because of the rounding dependent on window font size and the current setting of the icon/text mode. If the 'Fuller' of a fulled window is clicked again, the window will return to its previous size. However, any action which changes the extents of the displayed material (such as window sizing, font change, icon/text mode change, etc.) will reset the 'fulled' state of the window and the next click on the 'Fuller' will again cause the window to be fulled to a size appropriate for the new content. An effect identical to clicking the 'Fuller' gadget can be obtained by selecting the 'Full' menu item. See also: Keyboard shortcuts Dragging Objects Menus and Dialogs
