Deleting Text. 

There are seven different delete commands available with KeyWord, allowing for the deleting of 
sections of text from one character to the whole document. 

Delete current character - 

Press CONTROL with COMMA, or DELETE. 

This deletes the character under the cursor. A short beep is sounded followed by announcement of 
the new character under the cursor. This command is also available by pressing the DELETE key. 
The text to the right of the character is all moved one character to the left to fill the gap. The cursor 
is now placed on the next character and this character is displayed. 

Delete last character - 

Press BACKSPACE. 

This deletes the previous character, that is, the last character entered if you are typing. The character 
deleted is displayed followed by a short beep. You can also use the command CONTROL with M. 

Delete current word - 

Press CONTROL with K. 

This deletes the word under the cursor together with any following spaces. A short beep is sounded 
and the text to the right of the word is all moved to the left to fill the gap. The cursor is now on the 
first character of the next word and this word is displayed. If the cursor is on a space, all spaces up 
to the beginning of the next word are deleted and the cursor is placed on that word. 

Delete previous word - 

Press CONTROL with J. 

The word before the cursor is deleted, together with any following spaces. 

Delete to end of sentence - 

Press CONTROL with I. 

KeySoft prompts you to make sure that you really mean to delete such a significant amount of text. 
If you press Y, all text will be deleted from the cursor position to the end of the current sentence. 
The cursor will be placed on the first character of the next sentence.
