''Standard menu shortcuts in programs''

It may be useful to know that the official Amiga guidelines for user interface design contain a list of menu shortcut keys which should always be followed by conforming Amiga programs - where relevant, of course. And as many programs actually do follow this, it is worth learning the most important ones, so you e.g. always know how to print or how to quit a program. The list is as follows:

''Project menu''

Amiga + N New

Amiga + O Open...

Amiga + S Save

Amiga + A Save As...

Amiga + P Print

Amiga + ? About... (not part of the official standard, but still almost always used)

Amiga + Q Quit

''Edit menu''

Amiga + X Cut

Amiga + C Copy

Amiga + V Paste

Amiga + Z Undo

You might notice that some of these standard items are also present in the Workbench menus, and that those of course use the standard keys. Others (such as Paste) are not relevant in the Workbench, so therefore the corresponding shortcut keys (here Amiga + V) are not used at all.

''Standard keystrokes used elsewhere''

Although they are not strictly part of Workbench, some other standard keystrokes are worth a mention while we're at it.

''Boot modifier keys''

During bootup of your Amiga, it is possible to interrupt or influence the normal boot process in various ways using the keyboard and/or the mouse.

If you hold down the Help key (normally Scroll Lock on a PC keyboard) during bootup, you will enter the Early Startup Menu, where you can make various selections about which drive to boot from, and whether to boot without Startup-Sequence, among others. The same can be achieved by holding both (L+R) mouse buttons. Either way, you may have to experiment a bit with the timing; it has to happen during initialisation of the system, just after the Kickstart modules have been loaded, but before the initialisation has passed the point of the bootmenu.

You can also hold down the Ctrl key (either one on a PC keyboard) or the middle mouse button (if you have one); this will make the system boot without Startup-Sequence, just like it would do if you selected it from the Early Startup Menu. And if instead you hold down either one of the Shift or Alt keys (including Alt Gr on a PC keyboard), the system will boot without starting anything from the WBstartup drawer; a similar effect to what you would see if you renamed the WBstartup drawer and rebooted. Note that the system doesn't determine whether it should start with or without WBStartup until the Workbench is actually being loaded, which is not the very first thing that happens during startup. Therefore you have to keep the Alt or Shift key pressed until you actually see the Workbench screen appear for it to be detected.

''Special Shell keys''

In the AmigaShell window, there are also a couple of useful key combinations to note.

Ctrl-C, like in many other systems, is the regular break signal. It tells a Shell program to stop immediately. Note that this requires the program to actually be coded to "listen" for this signal, and to be able to receive it, i.e. not to be fully occupied with other matters. So it may not always seem to have any effect. Sometimes it just takes a little time, sometimes it doesn't work at all.

Ctrl-D works in a similar way, except that it breaks a running AmigaDOS script. Normally, a Ctrl-C will break the currently executing command, but if it is running as part of a script, this will just let the next command in the script run. With Ctrl-D you can avoid having the rest of the script run.

Finally, Ctrl-\\ (Ctrl and backslash) can be used to exit the Shell. It does the same as hitting the close gadget (if found) or typing EndCLI as a command. Note that on a PC keyboard, the key to use together with Ctrl is not necessarily the backslash key, it differs between the various national keyboard types. It will normally have either a backslash or a vertical bar (|) as one of the characters printed on it. To find out for sure, you can start the program KeyShow in the Utilities drawer. Click on a Ctrl key on the display, and look for a key that shows '^\\' (the caret '^' symbolizes the Ctrl code). There may be more than one key that shows this sequence, in which case both or all of them will work.

The KeyShow program is in general a great help if you are wondering how to type some rarely used character. It will always adapt to the keymap you have chosen in Prefs/Input (e.g. as done during installation) and show the characters produced by the various keys alone or together with whatever qualifier key you click on.

''More about the keyboard (and other subjects)''

You can find more information about the difference between using a classic Amiga keyboard and a PC keyboard, and lots of other keyboard-related things, in the file Keyboards.doc in the Documentation drawer, which can be found on your installation CD.

In general, the Documentation drawer is full of interesting and useful information about using your Amiga and AmigaOS 4.0. Please have a good look at it, and return to it whenever you search for answers in your future quest to master Workbench and AmigaOS. While it is not installed to your hard disk by default, it is highly recommended that you drag it over from the CD, so that you always have access to it while working with your system. It only takes up a couple of megabytes of disk space.
