Activation Behavior

• Select the Display KwikINF Window radio button to tell KwikINF that you always want the KwikINF window to be displayed when you press the KwikINF hot key to initiate searches for information. This is the default behavior of the KwikINF window.

  When the you press the KwikINF hot key, you can initiate a search for the text string that may be automatically displayed in the Search String entry field or for the text string that you enter into this field. You can also specify which online document in the BOOKSHELF KwikINF searches for the text string.

• Select the Bypass KwikINF Window radio button to tell KwikINF that you do not want the KwikINF window to be displayed when you press the KwikINF hot key to initiate searches for information. This is typically used when working under conditions where the KwikINF automatic text-retrieval feature is available.

  When you press the KwikINF hot key, KwikINF automatically looks for the text string under the cursor in the online document that has a matching entry in the KwikINF index file or, if there is no matching entry in the index file, in the Default volume selected from the Configure KwikINF window.

  You configure KwikINF by pressing the Configure push button in the KwikINF window. To configure KwikINF when this window is bypassed, press SHIFT + your KwikINF hotkey to display the Configure KwikINF window.
