information regarding vertical and
horizontal scrolling.
The ‘+’ key does the same for all windows. The four task displays will reappear, evenly balanced, while retaining any customizations previously applied beyond those noted for the ‘=’ command toggle.
* A :Alternate‐Display‐Mode toggle
This command will switch between full-screen mode and alternate-display mode.
The first time you issue this command, all four task displays will be shown. Thereafter when you switch modes, you will see only the task display(s) you’ve chosen to make visible.
* a | w :Next‐Window‐Forward/Backward
This will change the ‘current’ window, which in turn changes the window to which commands are directed. These keys act in a circular fashion so you can reach any desired window using either key.
Assuming the window name is visible (you have not toggled ‘l’ Off), whenever the ‘current’ window name loses its emphasis/color, that’s a reminder the task display is Off and many commands will be restricted.
G :Change‐Window/Field‐Group‐Name
You will be prompted for a new name to be applied to the ‘current’ window. It does not require that the window name be visible (the ‘l’ toggle to be On).
* The interactive commands shown with an asterisk (‘*’) have use beyond alternate-display mode.
=, A, g are always available
a, w act the same with color mapping
and fields management
* g :Choose‐Another‐Window/Field‐Group
You will be prompted to enter a number between 1 and 4 designating the field group which should be made the ‘current’ window.
In full-screen mode, this command is necessary to alter the ‘current’ window. In alternate-display mode, it is simply a less convenient alternative to the ‘a’ and ‘w’ commands.
5c. SCROLLING a Window
Typically a task window is a partial view into a system’s total tasks/threads which shows only some of the available fields/columns. With these scrolling keys, you can move that view vertically or horizontally to
reveal any desired task or column.
Up,PgUp :Scroll‐Tasks
Move the view up toward the first task row, until the first task is displayed at the top of the ‘current’ window. The Up arrow key moves a single line while PgUp scrolls the entire window.
Down,PgDn :Scroll‐Tasks
Move the view down toward the last task row, until the last task is the only task displayed at the top of the ‘current’ window. The Down arrow key moves a single line while PgDn scrolls the entire window.
Left,Right :Scroll‐Columns
Move the view of displayable fields horizontally one column at a time.
Note: As a reminder, some fields/columns are not fixed‐width but allocated all remaining screen width when visible. When scrolling right or left, that feature may produce some unexpected results initially.
Additionally, there are special provisions for any variable width field when positioned as the last displayed field. Once that field is reached via the right arrow key, and is thus the only column shown, you can
continue scrolling horizontally within such a field. See the ‘C’ interactive command below for additional information.
Home :Jump‐to‐Home‐Position
Reposition the display to the un‐scrolled coordinates.
End :Jump‐to‐End‐Position
Reposition the display so that the rightmost column reflects the last displayable field and the bottom task row represents the last task.
Note: From this position it is still possible to scroll down and right using the arrow keys. This is true until a single column and a single task is left as the only display element.
C :Show‐scroll‐coordinates toggle
