Command Mode
Key Assignments
You cannot assign 16-bit Asian characters to a command key. However,
Japanese users can assign Katakana characters to a command key.
Cursor Movement
The cursor occupies the full width of a character, whether the character
is 8-bits or 16-bits. In other words, when the cursor is under an 8-bit
character, it occupies only one column. When you move the cursor to a
16-bit character, the cursor expands to occupy two columns.
Using the TAB Key
While in Command Mode the forward right arrow TAB key always places the
cursor on a full 16-bit character. However, the back left arrow TAB key
can tab to the second half of a 16-bit character.
For example, if you back tab to the Asian character "[]" and the tab is
set in the second column that the character occupies ("]"), the cursor
occupies only the second column of the character. When you issue a
command the cursor expands to occupy both columns of the 16-bit
character. If you execute the Delete Character command and the cursor is
under the second half of the Asian character, HP EDIT deletes the entire
character.
