Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the Inter-
national Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system for
worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of IS0 or
IEC participate in the development of International Standards through
technical committees established by the respective organization to deal
with particular fields of technical activity. IS0 and IEC technical com-
mittees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organiz-
ations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with IS0 and IEC,
also take part in the work.
In the field of information technology, IS0 and IEC have established a joint
technical committee, lSO/IEC JTC 1. Draft International Standards adopted
by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for
voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at
least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote.
Amendment 1 to International Standard lSO/IEC 10741-I :I 995 was
prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information tech-
nology, Subcommittee 18, Document processing and related communi-
cation.

Part 1:
Cursor control for text editing
AMENDMENT 1: Macro cursor control
Replace the text of clause 2 by:
An appI:ication clami ’ng conformance to this part of ISO/IEC 10741 shall conform to clauses
5, 6, 7, 8, 8.1 and 8.2 (conditional).
Add the following three new definitions:
4.20 frame: The text bounded by the edges of the screen or the window in which a part of
the document is displayed to the user.
4.21 macro cursor control: User ability to move the cursor more than one increment at a
time.
Note - The increment unit is application dependent; typically, a character is the increment unit
in text editing.
4.22 page: A part of the docume+nt which will be presented as a single unit. The extent of the
part to be presented is determined by the application. Typically this area
corresponds to a physical page or a hypertext node.
Add the following two new clauses:
Macro cursor control for linear text editing realized through keyboard keys or
analogous devices
Macro movements of the cursor are implemented through activation of user input functions.
This part of ISO/IEC 10741 does not specify what input device is to be used to effect the
However, if keyboard keys are used, they shall be located in
specified macro movements.
the editing zone of the keyboard as specified in lSO/IEC 99955. If symbols are used to
indicate functions they shall be in accordance with ISO/IEC 99957, whether the
implementation uses the keyboard keys or analogous devices.
ISO/IEC 10741 specifies that some macro movement functions are mandatory and that

some are optional.

8.1 Mandatory macro cursor control functions
The functions in 8.1 .l to 8.1.6 shall be available to the user of Latin-based languages text
editing applications through activation of keys. Clause 9 describes recommended ways that
these functions may be implemented.
8.1.1 Next word

document. If the cursor is positioned at the end of the document, activating the “next word”
function shall not move the cursor.
8.1.2 Previous word
Activating the “previous word” function shall move the cursor to the first character of the
current word, or, if the cursor is already positioned at the first character of that word, it shall
move to the first character of the word preceding the current word. If the cursor is positioned
at the beginning of the document, activating the “previous word” function shall not move the
cursor.
8.1.3 Beginning of line
Activating the “beginning of line” function shall move the cursor to the beginning of the
current line. If the cursor is positioned at the beginning of a line, activating the “beginning of
line” function shall not move the cursor.

the cursor.
8.1.5 Beginning of document
Activating the “beginning of document” function shall move the cursor to the beginning of the
