    If the cursor is already at the edge of the screen, this has no effect. CSI n B CUD: Cursor Down CSI n C CUF: Cursor Forward CSI n D CUB: Cursor Back CSI n E CNL: Cursor Next Line Moves cursor to beginning of the line n (default 1) lines down. (not ANSI.SYS) CSI n F CPL: Cursor Previous Line Moves cursor to beginning of the line n (default 1 ...

  3. Modifier key - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modifier_key

    For example, in most keyboard layouts the Shift key combination ⇧ Shift+A will produce a capital letter "A" instead of the default lower-case letter "a" (unless in Caps Lock or Shift lock mode). A combination of Alt+F4 in Microsoft Windows will trigger the shortcut for closing the active window; in this instance, Alt is the modifier key.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_layout

    A typical 105-key computer keyboard, consisting of sections with different types of keys. A computer keyboard consists of alphanumeric or character keys for typing, modifier keys for altering the functions of other keys, [1] navigation keys for moving the text cursor on the screen, function keys and system command keys—such as Esc and Break—for special actions, and often a numeric keypad ...

  5. Arrow keys - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrow_keys

    At the Applesoft BASIC prompt, using the right and left arrow keys to move the cursor would add/remove characters the cursor passed over to/from the input buffer. Pressing the Esc key entered a mode where pressing the I, J, K or M keys would move the cursor without altering the input buffer. After exiting this mode by pressing Escape again ...

  6. Scroll Lock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scroll_Lock

    In its original design, Scroll Lock was intended to modify the behavior of the arrow keys. When the Scroll Lock mode is on, the arrow keys scroll the contents of a text window instead of moving the cursor. [1] [2] In this usage, Scroll Lock is a toggling lock key like Num Lock or Caps Lock, which have a state that persists after the key is ...

    The cursor for the Windows Command Prompt (appearing as an underscore at the end of the line). In most command-line interfaces or text editors, the text cursor, also known as a caret, [4] is an underscore, a solid rectangle, or a vertical line, which may be flashing or steady, indicating where text will be placed when entered (the insertion point).

  8. Non-blocking algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-blocking_algorithm

    All wait-free algorithms are lock-free. In particular, if one thread is suspended, then a lock-free algorithm guarantees that the remaining threads can still make progress. Hence, if two threads can contend for the same mutex lock or spinlock, then the algorithm is not lock-free. (If we suspend one thread that holds the lock, then the second ...

    A wristwatch was used as the first wait cursor in early versions of the classic Mac OS. Apple's HyperCard first popularized animated cursors, including a black-and-white spinning quartered circle resembling a beach ball. The beach-ball cursor was also adopted to indicate running script code in the HyperTalk-like AppleScript. The cursors could ...
