Problem Navigating Texpad Document

Post by llyal »

Hi,

I have this problem with Textpad- when i use the page up/down to navigate the document, the cursor does not move accordingly; when i use the arrow keys or begin to type i find that the document position jumps back to where the original cursor position was. is there a way configure textpad to that the cursor moves when one uses page up/down, like is done in MS Word and other editors?

Thanks,

What you want is in fact the default behavior.

I don't know the english label of the key but there is one on your keyboard that works similar to Caps-Lock and Num-Lock and it switches the Page-Up Page-Down keys so that when you press them they act as if you click with the mouse on the scroll bar! On the german keyboard that is a key called "Rollen" and it has an arrow pointing down on it. There should be an LED on your keyboard showing the state of this key.

Needless to say, moving the scroll bar with the mouse does not move the cursor and you get your problem.

That key is called "Scroll Lock" on English keyboards.

Thanks!

I must hit this key every-so-often as I furiously type code! I have never used the Scroll Lock and didn't know what it did, so when it turned on, it created a Textpad problem. Now that I have control over the "problem", Textpad workd good again! :-)
