This may be in either ASCII or Hex format. ASCII mode is suitable for readable text files, while Hex mode is more suitable for binary files. On opening or re-reading a text window, Tera Desktop attempts to determine the correct mode by examining the contents of the file. Every text window has its own menu bar with one title, 'Viewer'. You must click on this to see the two items it contains. I.e. it is a click-down rather than a drop-down menu. The first item, 'Tabsize' , shows a dialog box when selected. In this you can set the tab size; the number of columns skipped when a Tab symbol is encountered in the text. The second, 'Hexmode', enables you to toggle between ASCII mode and Hex mode. When 'Hexmode' is ticked, the file is shown in hex mode. Certain keyboard keys, besides those already mentioned, have special effects in a text window: Pressing the [Space] key causes scrolling to the next page. Pressing the [Return] key causes scrolling to the next line. Pressing the [Esc] key causes the contents of the top text window to be read again and the window to be refreshed. Dragging a -single- file to a text window will cause the contents of the window to be replaced with the contents of the dragged file (this can be faster than opening a new text window). An installed application can be set to perform the function of the file viewer. The application will completely replace the text windows of TeraDesk. See Set applications...
