5.6 THUNDER SCREEN MARKERS AND THE BY-PASS
KEY
You very rarely need to read this chapter unless something you
need to do is not working for you.
Markers take you straight to a specific point on the screen that you will want to
go to regularly, such as the clock at the bottom of the Desktop or an object on the screen which doesn’t speak to
you.
To set a marker at your chosen spot, with the NKP keys, put the mouse pointer
where you will want to start reading. Then press CAPSLOCK S (set) followed by a letter to remind you of that spot,
such as C for clock, S for status bar. NKP9 will save the marker so that you can come back to it later.
To go to your marked spot again, press CAPSLOCK G (go to) followed by the letter
you chose.
There is a refinement that you may just need if there are unforeseen problems:
CAPSLOCK T tidies the window which you might need to do before you set markers and again before you go back to
them.
Marker go to: CAPSLOCK G followed by a letter.
Marker set: CAPSLOCK S followed by a
letter.
NKP9 saves markers.
Tidy window: CAPSLOCK T
THE BY-PASS KEY
CAPSLOCK E is the Thunder BY-PASS key. Just occasionally, you may find you need
the same Thunder keystroke as a program you wish to control from the keyboard. Pressing CAPSLOCK E ignores the
Thunder keystroke and allows you into the program you are running. It is so rarely used that we can’t think of an
example.
