The contents of the screen can be displayed in reverse, i.e. as a right-
to-left mirror image, by pressing the keys Shift + Backspace. This is
a toggle function, so pressing the keys again will revert to normal
left-to-right display. An arrow will be displayed on the status line
(next to the row/column number) to indicate normal (right arrow) or
mirror (left arrow) display.
The direction in which characters are displayed on the screen when
typed can be toggled between normal left-to-right and right-to-left
by pressing the keys Shift + / on the keypad. The following symbols
will be displayed on the status line to indicate the current typing
direction:
Selecting the
Symbol Swap
dialog will cause text symbols such as round or
Display Settings
angle brackets to be displayed the correct way round when typing
right-to-left.
If text has been typed using both typing direction modes in the same
line or field, you can force the right-hand text to join the left-hand
text by pressing the keys Shift + * on the keypad.
Push mode allows you to edit text whose direction is opposite the
screen orientation. In this mode the cursor orientation is reversed
and a Push segment is created. Push mode is toggled on/off by press-
ing the keys Ctrl + Shift + - (keypad minus).
Push mode has two secondary modes, Boundary mode and Edit
mode.
