The [Esc] key (alternatively the [Undo] key or [F12] in WinPack or [F15] on Mac computers) also allows you to abandon whatever you have typed into all editable fields and restore the previous values. It is especially useful in small editable fields without their own [Cancel] button like those of the Coordinate display.
Warning: If a dialog contains so-called editable fields for text or numerical values and the input cursor is positioned in such an editable field, then pressing the [Esc] key (on all computer systems!) clears the corresponding field. If you want to close such a dialog instead, it is better to press one of the alternative keys [Undo], [F12] or [F15] mentioned above.
If you hold down [Ctrl], [Shift] and [Alternate] at the same time,
Calamus will stop drawing the current page. With large documents you
can save a lot of time this way if you believe that a complete page
build-up takes too long. Since a bitmap image is also built up during
the printing cycle, you can break from printing with this combination.
You can also abort the recording of instruction sequences for key
bindings (see Options menu, Key bindings
menu item).
