Accessibility

As from version 0.3b Jpgfdraw has improved support for users who have difficulties with or who are unable to use a mouse. (However please note known bug 5.) Almost all Jpgfdraw's mouse functions can be emulated using the keyboard, however it should be noted that some systems do not permit applications to move the pointer, so keyboard functions that move the pointer are not guaranteed to work on every system. Keyboard accelerators and their menu mnemonic equivalents are listed in Table 2.1. Keyboard accelerators for the system are listed in Table 2.2.

Within editable text fields, you can use Ctrl-A to select all the text, or Shift followed by the left or right arrow key to select a portion of the text. If some of the text has been selected, you can use Ctrl-C or Ctrl-X to copy or cut the text onto the clipboard, and you can use Ctrl-V to paste text from the clipboard into the text field.
