As my exam, I am doing a word processor What is the problem you are having? I am really confused on how to create a cursor and do copying and pasting. I want to do this with the keyboard not mouse. I REALLY need help because my exams due in about 2 days and I have no clue what I am doing Describe what you have tried to solve this problem <Answer Here> Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long) <Answer Here>

Describe what you have tried to solve this problem <Answer Here> ಠ_ಠ Perhaps the first step would be to use some simple word processor (a text field in a form such as this will do), and use it for a while, until you start getting ideas of what needs to be done. |

You have existing applications available to them. Use them to figure out the steps that they do to perform the same action; then instead of bad questions such as "how do I do _everything_?" you can ask more specific questions, such as "Give that I've already selected N characters, how do I update the screen when I add the (N+1)th character to the selection?" (to which the naive answer is -- clear the screen and redraw everything) |
