13.1 XBfe usage

XBfe attempts to follow established user interface conventions for X programs:

• The location of the mouse determines where keyboard input goes.

• In general, it is the release of a mouse button, and not its being pressed, that causes action.

• When you've finished typing a piece of information in one of the items in the XBfe window, you must hit RET to cause action.

• The text editing facilities for such information are the defaults for the AsciiText widget, which is Emacs-like bindings.

• You can customize the bindings of all actions described below, the fonts used, window sizes, and so on, via your resource file `.Xdefaults'. See the documentation in the file

  .../mit/doc/tutorials/resources.txt
  

  in the X distribution if you aren't familiar with X resources. The class name is XBfe. The font utilities distribution comes with an application resource file `XBfe' (which must be installed for the program to function properly); see that file for possibilities of what you might change.

The sections below describe the specific operations XBfe provides.
