7.2. Editing attributes in the structure view

All attributes are displayed in the structure view. Attribute values may be displayed in blue or purple.

When the value is displayed in blue, you can only change it with the Attributes tool. This ensures that

only one of the predefined values is chosen.

Attributes with a free value can be edited in the structure view.

• You can click within the attribute value (displayed in purple) and edit the value like any other

character string.

• To select the whole value, you can click within the value then hit the F2 key.

• To remove the attribute, you can select the whole value, then press the Delete key twice. The

first Delete removes the attribute value and the second removes the attribute itself.

7.3. Copying attributes

An attribute is not the same thing as an element, and an attribute can not be copied by the Copy/Paste

entries on the Edit menu. Only a textual attribute value can be copied/pasted.

8. Entering characters

To enter characters that are not directly available from the keyboard, Amaya uses the standard services

provided by the Operating System. An optional multi-key support is also provided for Motif and

Windows versions.

Amaya provides a mechanism for assigning keyboard shortcuts to characters that are not directly

available from the keyboard. Some of them are pre-defined:

• To enter a non-breaking space, press Ctrl-space

This character is displayed in the source view under the form of the following colored character:

• To enter a œ (oelig), press Ctrl-o Ctrl-e

• To enter a Œ (OElig), press Ctrl-Shift-O Ctrl-Shift-E

• To enter a «, press Ctrl-[

• To enter a », press Ctrl-]

The input methods for Unix and Mac OS X are presented below.

8.1. About Unix standard multi-key support

If a character is unavailable on the keyboard, you can insert the character by pressing the special

Compose key followed by a sequence of two other keys. See the table below for the keys used to insert

various characters. Note that in Amaya you can change the order of the two keys.

If your keyboard does not contain a Compose key, you can attach it to an existing key such as Alt-Gr

with the following xmodmap command:

keycode 113 = Multi_key

You can place this command in the $HOME/.Xmodmap file, and Amaya will apply it when you will launch

your X server.
