Inserting spaces on the X16

Post by rje »


With my lovely WASD X16 keyboard and the lovely r38 emulator, how do I insert spaces into a line (e.g. of BASIC)?

I read how to do it just a couple weeks ago, and now I've forgotten.

Ctrl+backspace will move the line after over, and then you'd type spaces.

It took me a minute to find where I'd seen it.  The emulator's README mentions it, although it says to do shift+backspace.  I guess both work.

Yes Shift+backspace it is and it was for C64 as well ... Maybe both work, but officially it is SHIFT+backspace
