Keyboard Shortcuts

Omniscope supports keyboard shortcuts to help you perform common tasks quickly. Because Omniscope is a Java rather than a Windows-only application, some shortcuts will differ from those used by Windows and/or Microsoft Office applications. For example, in Omniscope, Ctrl+F launches the Manage Fields wizard rather than Windows Find. Most Omniscope shortcuts are indicated on the command menus, but some, such as those used for Table View data entry and cell text editing do not have corresponding menus.
(Note: Apple Macs use the the Command key rather than Ctrl key + another key.)

Omniscope cell editing shortcuts:

Omniscope displays cells for editing in the Table View. To access the full body of text in a cell, double-click on the cell, or right-click and choose Edit this cell. The cell will expand to allow you to read many lines, but you cannot scroll down within a cell. The following keyboard shortcuts  can be used to speed navigation and editing of cells containing many lines of text. These shortcuts are also very useful useful for copying values into cells down many rows or across many columns.

Alt+Return adds a return inside the text within a cell 
Ctrl+End moves the cursor to the end/bottom of the text in the cell. 
Ctrl+Home  moves the cursor to the top of the text in the cell
Page Down moves the cursor a full page down the text
Page Up moves the cursor a full page up the text
Ctrl+A selects all the text in the cell,
Delete  deletes all selected text
Backspace deletes selected cells or text
Ctrl+C copies the selected cells to the clipboard
Ctrl+V pastes the values in the clipboard to the selected cells (see warning on pasting in data below)
Ctrl+X removes the current values from the selected cells and stores them in the clipboard
Ctrl+Z undoes the previous edit
Ctrl+Y re-does the previous undone edit
Ctrl+; inserts the current date into the cell

Column headers are used to set sorting behaviour and cannot be used to select an entire column. To select most or all of a long column, hold the Shift key down and drag the right side scroll bar to the bottom of the target range. Then click on the last cell in the range and all intermediate cells will be selected and become targets for edits like copy and delete.

You can move data into or out of Omniscope using copy and paste (assuming the file owner has not locked the file).

WARNING: Be careful when pasting large, rectangular tables of values into the Omniscope via theTable View. If you specify a target paste range with more rows and columns than are contained in the data set you are copying, Omniscope will duplicate the records to fill the target space entirely. If you are not sure how many rows and columns you are importing via copy and paste, create a large number of new rows and columns and select only the single upper left-hand cell as the target paste range. This usually pastes the correct range. However, depending on the format/source of the incoming pasted data (web page tables, for example) all of the incoming values are sometimes pasted into the single upper left cell only. If this happens, then you must specify a rectangular target area exactly the correct size to receive the incoming pasted data. If you accidentally make the paste range too large, be sure to check for, and delete, any duplicated records.
