Navigation Through the Data Editor Window

You may move through the Data Editor window in a number of ways, including keyboard entry, jumping to a specified subgroup, or using the scroll bars at the right and bottom of the window.

Keyboard commands

Note: If the Smart Cursor is operational (by default), then the UP-ARROW, DOWN-ARROW, TAB, and SHIFT+TAB keys will move to the next valid cell. A valid cell is determined by the subgroup structure of your file. For example, if you have two columns in your file, one with a subgroup size of 5 and the other with a subgroup size of 3, the cells in the column with the subgroup size of 3 that are on the same row as the 4th and 5th readings in a subgroup in the first column are not valid cells for data entry, and the Smart Cursor will skip over them. The edit box will display "(N/A)" to signify cells that are not valid for data entry.

The Smart Cursor is made operational by selecting the Smart Cursor in variables Data Sets option in the Preferences dialog box, available from the Options menu.

UP-ARROW: moves to the previous row

DOWN-ARROW: to the next row

TAB: to the next cell to the right

SHIFT+TAB: to the previous cell to the left

HOME: to the first cell of a row

END: to the last cell of a row

CTRL+HOME: to the first row of a data file

CTRL+END: to the last row of a data file

Jumping to a specified subgroup

If you want to go directly to a specified subgroup in the Data Editor window, select Go To Group from the Edit menu. Enter the subgroup number in the Go to Group dialog box, and press Enter, or click on the OK button.
