In button mode, the letters [A] to [Z] are automatically assigned to the first 26 defects. When a defect button is highlighted or the cursor is blinking in the number field, pressing the hot key is the same as clicking the associated defect button – even when the hot key letters are hidden. Hot keys are not active in list mode.

The actual number of defects displayed at one time is also affected by the longest button label and by the size of the defect entry screen.

•  When replace mode is disabled, typing a number and clicking the Add button (or pressing the ENTER key) increments the previous count for the highlighted defect by the number you have typed. This is the default setting.
