Cursor Mode

Cursor mode is a new feature in Jalview 2.08, and allows more +precise selection and editing of alignments through the use of the +keyboard for both navigation and the input of editing and selection commands.

F2 Toggles between normal and cursor editing modes. When +in cursor mode, a black cursor appears in the residue area of the +alignment, and any mouse clicks on that area will move the cursor to +that position (this means that the region selection menu is +unavailable in cursor mode).

Navigation +

Cursor keys - Move cursor around the alignment.

S - Type a number x then press 'S' to jump to sequence x.

C - Type a number x then press 'C' to jump to column x.

P - Type a number x then press 'P' to jump to position x in current sequence.

65,82<return> - Quick jump to column 65, sequence 82

Defining Regions +

Q - Define the top left corner of the selection area

M - Define the bottom right corner of the selection area
+

Editing The Alignment +

Space - Insert a gap at the cursor position.
+ To insert 12 spaces at the current cursor, type 12 before pressing Space.
+ To group insert, hold control or shift together with space.

Delete - Delete a gap at the cursor position.
+ To delete 12 spaces at the current cursor, type 12 before pressing Delete.
+ To group delete, hold down control or shift together with Delete.
