The fastest way to enter diacritics is by pressing a few keys on your keyboard. You can enter a diacritic by pressing the F7 function key and the specific shortcut key for the diacritic.
Before you can effectively use diacritic shortcuts, you need to find out what shortcut to use for each diacritic. You can view the shortcuts in the Shortcut column of the Diacritic Shortcut bar.
To display the Diacritic Shortcut bar, choose Diacritic Shortcut Bar from the View menu:
You can use the Print Screen key on your keyboard to print a list of these shortcuts. (For more information, see Windows help.)
To use diacritic shortcuts from the keyboard
1 | Log in to Horizon. |
2 | Start a process where you need to enter information that includes diacritics. (For example, you might need to create a bibliographic record for a new book in a foreign language.) |
3 | Put your cursor in a field where you can enter information. |
4 | Start completing or updating the field. |
5 | When you need to enter a diacritic, press F7 and then the keystroke combination for the diacritic. (For example, you may press F7, then press CRTL+3 to enter the British pound.) |
Horizon puts the diacritic at the insertion point.
6 | Enter any other information that you need in the record. |
7 | Save your changes. |
