Shift line(s) using keyboard

When a line has been moved, a confirmation message appears.



•“Yes” - the new line position is saved and next time the confirmation message appears again.

•“Yes to All” - the new line position is saved and next time the confirmation message will not appear again until Field-Map restarts. If you want to activate the confirmation message for the current session, go to Settings/General - “Messages” and activate the option “Confirm manual line adjustment (for current session)”.
