Modifying the CVIM Menus

When you pick the Ret key, one of two results can occur:
(1) No dictionary entry is found to contain the text you entered; the
Status: box returns the message Sub–text Not Found. If this
happens, try entering a different string.
(2) A dictionary entry containing the search text is found; the text of
that dictionary entry appears in the New Text: field now located over
the keyboard. The dictionary ID number of the entry is listed in the
Status: field of the keyboard display (it is suggested that you record
this ID number; you can use it later to quickly access the specific
dictionary entry again, in case you want to edit it again).
• The dictionary entry that is found may not be the specific entry you want
to change. In this case, pick the Find Next: box to locate the next
dictionary entry containing the search text. Repeatedly pick the Find
Next: box until the desired entry is located.
• When the desired entry is listed in the New Text: field, edit the entry as
necessary (see “Editing Text” later in this chapter).
Here are some additional considerations when searching for text strings:
Case–Sensitivity: The search text is not case–sensitive.
Reenabling Find Next: The Find Next: box is disabled after a
dictionary entry is modified. To use the same search string again after
modifying an entry, you must reenter the search string, and pick Ret.
Dictionary ID Search
To use the Dictionary ID method for accessing an entry to modify, follow
this general procedure:
• First, pick the Dictionary ID box on the Search Method menu to access
the ID entry keyboard. The keyboard’s display area includes two fields,
Dictionary ID: and Status:
• Enter the dictionary ID number of the entry you want to edit. Your entry
appears in the Dictionary ID: field in the keyboard display.
