3 <title>Cursor Mode</title>
6 <p><strong>Cursor Mode</strong></p>
7 <p>Cursor mode is a new feature in Jalview 2.08, and allows more
8 precise selection and editing of alignments through the use of the
9 keyboard for both navigation and the input of editing and selection commands.</p>
10 <p><em>F2</em> Toggles between normal and cursor editing modes. When
11 in cursor mode, a black cursor appears in the residue area of the
12 alignment, and any mouse clicks on that area will move the cursor to
13 that position (this means that the region selection menu is
14 unavailable in cursor mode).</p>

20 <li>S - Type a number x then press 'S' to jump to sequence x.</li>
