Potential scondary structure is automatically checked and the information can be displayed with the primary structure. Protection levels can be assigned to the sequences and 'SAI' entries individually. The editor permanently communicates with the database and other ARB tools. Every change made by the editor is immediately exported to the database. All sequence changes made by other ARB tools are exported to the editor every 5 seconds. Multiple editors can be used synchronuously. Display: The first column of the editing area of the 'ARB_EDIT' window shows the protection levels. The names of sequences (> name<) and SAI entries (# name#) are listed in column 2. @@@ sequences Cursor: The cursor can be moved using the mouse or the arrow keys. The current cursor positions with respect to the alignment and the E. coli sequence (there has to be an 'SAI' entry: ECOLI) are indicated after the 'abs-pos' and 'ecoli-pos' prompts in the upper part of the 'ARB_EDIT' window, respectively. Moving entries: To move an individual entry, position the cursor on the name, keep the left mouse button pressed, move the entry to the desired position, and release the button. Any entry can be fixed (keeps its position while scrolling) at the top or bottom of the editing area by moving it beyond this area. Editing: Protection: To perform editing, the protection level of the particular entry has to be set to 0 (select protection from the 'EDIT' menu of the 'ARB_EDIT' window) or the protection has to be set globally (press the 'Protection' button in the upper part of the 'ARB_EDIT' window) to a level equal to or higher than that assigned to the entry. Modes: There are three editing modes which can be selected by pressing F1 or the button in the upper part of the 'ARB_EDIT' window. Nucleotide (amino acid) and gap symbols can be assigned to any of the letter and symbol keys by using the 'Key Mapping' facility ('EDIT' menu). Typing can be done in both directions. Select 5'>3' or 3'>5' by pressing the button. Replace: Any character right (5'>3') or left (3'>5') to the cursor is replaced by nucleotide (aminoacid) and gap symbols. Characters are deleted ('Del' and 'Backspace' keys) right (5'>3') or left (3'>5') of the cursor Insert: Nucleotide (amino acid) and gap symbols are inserted or deleted ('Del' and 'Backspace' keys) right (5'>3') or left (3'>5') of the cursor. Align + Sequence check: Only gap symbols are inserted or deleted ('Del' and 'Backspace' keys) right (5'>3') or left (3'>5') of the cursor. Sequence check is performed by typing nucleotide (aminoacid) symbols. Discrepancies between typed and existing symbols are indicated by beeping. @@@ Zahlen vervielfachen die Eingabe Moving nucleotide (amino acid) symbols: CTRL + LEFT/RIGHT Push or pull a coherent sequence stretch next to the cursor. ALT + LEFT/RIGHT Move a single nucleotide (amino acid) symbol from right or left to the cursor position. If the cursor is placed at a gap position adjacent to a nucleotide (amino acid) symbol this symbol is moved in the direction of cursor position to the next symbol (jumps over gaps). @@ Shift left and Right @@ MG Knopf EXAMPLES None NOTES The order of the entries cannot be saved to the database. The cursor is removed if it is scrolled outside the visible area. You may use the META key instead of ALT (especially if there is no ALT key :) WARNINGS The key mappings may conflict with some window managers (eg. olvwm). Disable the CTRL-LEFT/RIGHT keys of the window manager. If you perform major database modifications such as - changing the length of the alignment - adding new SAIs you have to QUIT and restart the editor. @@@ MG jump BUGS Moving the cursor up and down does not scroll the window.
