3.17 Selecting items – Reprise

By now KompoZer users should be familiar with

selecting and manipulating items. A recapitulation

may be useful however.

These comments apply in Normal, HTML Tags or

preview mode.

KompoZer often offers a number of ways of doing

something. Sometimes one method will apply some-

times another. Which works will depend on a) what is

to be selected and b) what is to be done with the

selection.

Selecting text.

Simply place the cursor anywhere in a block.

This is often sufficient where a format is to be

applied to a complete block.

Double-click within a block to select a word.

Triple click within a block to select a line of text.

Drag across a section of text to highlight and

select that section only.

Many functions may be carried out on the selected

text this includes

Dragging to a different position,

Applying a class

Changing the element tag e.g. changing from a

paragraph to a list.

Selecting in HTML tags view

Sometimes selections in normal or preview mode

become difficult or impossible.

In HTML Tags view press the Control key while

clicking on the tag for the block to select a

complete block.

Actions appropriate to complete blocks such as

dragging or applying a class are possible.

Selecting via the Status bar

This is a quite excellent tool. Click in any text

object or image, then, on the Status bar, click on the

element marker farthest to the right. The object is

selected. To the left of this are shown any elements

higher in the document tree. Click any of these to

select the corresponding elements. KompoZer also

displays the class or id of each element allowing for

easier selection.

Double clicking

This provides a powerful context-sensitive function

which often provides the fastest route to appropriate

actions.

Double click an image to reach the ‘Image prop-

erties’ window which allows changes to image

location, name, size, link etc.

Double click a link or anchor to edit the name,

properties etc.

Double click a table or cell to access properties

such as size, colour, alignment.

Double click most things to obtain access to

‘Advanced properties’ via the ‘Advanced edit’

button which appears on the first window to

open. While these require more detailed knowl-

edge of HTML or CSS they can be used to apply

extensive formatting options to items.

Tip: Escaping to page body.

Occasionally you may wish to escape from some ele-

ment to the body of the page. For instance if you have

two tables immediately following each other, pressing

the down arrow at the end of one will take you into the

next, you can't insert anything between them. If you

have a paragraph with a special style the enter key will

start a new paragraph with the same style, if you don't

want that you have to clear the style. If you have a

division which is the last item on a page you can't add

anything after it.

In any of these situations click the last, or only, item in

the element and, on the status bar, click the marker for

the element, next press the down arrow key. This will

take the pointer to below the div though the cursor will

not be visible.

Then just type.
