4.7 DELETING
Some people like to correct typing mistakes as they go along,
but others prefer to put things right when they’ve finished writing - especially if it’s something creative
or needing concentration.
When you make a mistake, Thunder will quack to alert you. You may also hear that
the word doesn’t sound right and the error will appear when you spell check your document.
You can delete letter by letter or delete larger blocks of writing.
There are two useful keys: the Backspace key and the Delete key.
The Backspace is often a longer key at the right end of the numbers row and it
deletes a character to the left of the Cursor.
The DELETE key, bottom left of the six keys above the cursor keys, deletes the
letter your cursor is on. Thunder will say "Delete" and the letter that the cursor is now on, not the deleted
letter. If you use BACKSPACE or DELETE within a word, Thunder will speak all the letters typed
To delete words or larger blocks, select them then press the
DELETE key. You can check what is selected with CAPSLOCK H.
If you delete something and then wish you hadn't, immediately press CONTROL Z to
put it back. It will be selected, so press the RIGHT ARROW key to get rid of the selection and carry on with your
work.
