Quick search for the tool name:
If the EDIT soft key is set to OFF, you can search for a tool name.
Proceed as follows:
Enter the first few characters of the tool name, e.g. MI
The control shows a dialog box with the entered text and jumps
to the first match.
Enter additional characters to narrow down the search result,
e.g. MILL
If the control cannot find any more matches for the entered
search string, you can press the last entered character (e.g. L) to
jump between matches, as with the arrow keys.
The quick search can also be used for tool selection in the TOOL
CALL block.
