HOW TO


TOOLBAR > ? (INFO) > KEYBOARD

The list of the available keyboard keys (shortcuts) can be shown by clicking TOOLBAR > ? (INFO) and selecting "KEYBOARD" from the popup menu. Below you will find short descriptions for each keyboard key - most of the functions behind the shortcuts have their own detailed help sections in this GUIDE.

Standard Keys (a-z)


a - ANT / AUDIO (JAGUAR PRO)

Start the audio comparison tool (more details in the COMPARE help) or if you are using ANTENNAS, switch the antenna in the LIVE mode (more details in the ANTENNAS help).

b - AUDIOBOX (JAGUAR PRO)

Open/close AUDIOBOX.

c - CLIPPER

Open JAGUAR's built-in audio clipping tool, CLIPPER.

Recording of the audio will start immediately after the "c" key is pressed. A subsequent "c" press stops the flow of audio to CLIPPER, and another press of "c" starts it again. When the desired audio clip has been recorded/modified, you can save it, and exit by pressing the EXIT button in CLIPPER.

Pressing the ESC key also cancels clip recording. A mouse right-click closes the CLIPPER window.

d - NEXT DAY

Change the day in playback, or "jump to the same point of time on the following day". The playback starts immediately if a matching recording is found on the following day. If there is no saved recording at that point of time, (( NO HITS )) message is given.

e - HOME <> HISTORY (JAGUAR PRO)

Toggle the HOME and HISTORY (extended spectrum) screens.

f - FILTERS (JAGUAR PRO)

Rotate the available RF filters: STOCK > JAZZ > CALLIOPE > AM FILTER.

g - GO NEXT

Jump to the next time/frequency as specified by the active JAGRUN script. Often used together with ALT-G (GO PREVIOUS).

h - HEARD (JAGUAR PRO)

"List of HEARD stations" on/off. Not only "heard stations" are listed, but "h" shows all the stations you have tagged (world-wide) on the current frequency.

i - INFOBOX

Open/close the INFOBOX.

j - JAGASS (JAGUAR PRO)

Open/close JAGASS (the TURTLE + AUDIO WINDOW combination).

k - KALIBRATE

Calibrate JAGUAR using the currently active calibration frequency.

l - LIVE <> ARCHIVE

Toggle the playback of the LIVE mode and the last-used archive file.

m - MAPS

Open/close the MAPS display.

n - NEXT FILE

Move the playback to the next file in the file pool.

o - OPEN FILE

Select a new file for playback.

p - PREVIOUS FILE

Move the playback to the previous file in the file pool.

q - NEXT CONTINENT

Rotate the active continents (in MAPS/TURTLE/FLAGS) in the following order: World > Europe > Africa- Middle East > Asia > Oceania > North America > Caribbean > South America.

r - RECORDING ON/OFF

Start/stop the manual recording mode. In the recording mode, the color of the progress bar is red in the LIVE mode. The current buffer file is saved to disk when the file becomes full, and the recording continues normally. If you stop recording by pressing the "r" key again, the current buffer file is saved, and the color of the progress bar returns back to green.

s - SEARCH

Start the SEARCH mode. More details in SEARCH help.

t - TURTLE

Open/close the TURTLE window.

u - UNDO/CLEAR

If there are no extra functions active, pressing "u" hides/shows the extra graphical elements.

Pressing "u" purges the currently-active audio loop markers, and a subsequent press of "u" restores the earlier loop markers, "undoing the undo".

Pressing "u" cancels recording without saving the file if the recording mode is active. Confirmation will be asked before cancellation. Pressing "u" also stops some other active functions, e.g. flushing the audio to CLIPPER.

v - VALUABLE FILE (JAGUAR PRO)

If the currently-played ARCHIVE file seems to contain extremely interesting stations, you can mark it "valuable" by pressing "V". The color on the playbar is changed to yellow. Press "V" once again to remove the marker.

w - WALLPAPER

Change the main display (HOME > HISTORY > YAS LOG > MAPS > CONDX).

x - FLAGS (JAGUAR PRO)

Toggle the FLAGS on/off.

y - YAS LOG (JAGUAR PRO)

Toggle the HOME and YAS displays.

z - FREQ SCROLL

Toggle the frequency-scrolling mode on and off. When frequency-scrolling is enabled, you will see the (( )) brackets around the frequency on PLAYBAR. While the brackets are visible, scrolling the mouse will change the frequency up/down, based on the current stepping mode, as long as the mouse hovers over PLAYBAR. Also, you can use the left/right arrow keys for frequency scrolling, regardless of the position of the mouse (unless the mouse points to some other scrollable object).

ALT Keys (A-Z or a-z)


These ALT-shortcut keys are available only for JAGUAR PRO, except ALT-D (PREVIOUS DAY), ALT-G (GO PREVIOUS), ALT-P (PERSEUS ATTENUATION), ALT-Q (PREVIOUS CONTINENT) and ALT-X (CONDX).

ALT-D - PREVIOUS DAY

Other Keys


ARROW KEYS - MULTIPURPOSE KEYS

The arrow keys (LEFT / RIGHT / UP / DOWN) are the most important keys in the keyboard use.

ARROW LEFT/RIGHT keys can be used as an alternative to the mouse wheel scrolling anywere in JAGUAR. When the mouse cursor is positioned over the PLAYBAR, the arrow keys can scroll either time or frequency:

BACKSPACE - PAUSE

Toggle the playback pause/mute on/off.

END - JUMP TO LAST ARCHIVE

Jump directly to the last recorded archive file.

ESC - STOP/CANCEL/DISABLE/QUIT

ESC is a multi-purpose stop/cancel/disable/quit key. When you have invoked a function, or opened a tool window, pressing ESC will stop/cancel that function. When all the extras have been stopped/disabled (one by one when ESC is pressed again), the last ESC will close JAGUAR (a confirmation will be asked). The ESC key is kind of a master key to restore the standard screen/services, offering an easy way to get rid of the extra stuff on the screen.

HOME - JUMP TO HOME SCREEN

Go to the HOME screen.

PAUSE - PAUSE

Toggle the playback pause/mute on/off (same as BACKSPACE).

PGDN - SCROLL DOWN

Scroll the TURTLE rows downward.

PGUP - SCROLL UP

Scroll the TURTLE rows upward.

TAB - SPECTRUM DATA STYLE

Rotate the spectrum style 0.5 > 1.0 > 1.1 > 1.2

SPACEBAR - WHAT WAS IT?

Create/remove the WWI ("What Was It") audio loop. When hearing something interesting, you can quickly repeat the last few seconds by pressing SPACEBAR, and JAGUAR will automatically create a short audio loop. The default loop length is 10 seconds.

+ (PLUS) and - (MINUS) - ZOOM

General ZOOM key to increase/decrease the object (spectrum width, map, TURTLE font size) depending on the mouse cursor position.

? (QUESTION MARK) - HELP

Open the JAGUAR GUIDE.
