At start-up, the application provides an edition area with text window, menubar at the top, scrollbar at the right side and control-panel at the bottom (see figure §2.1 page gif). If the pointer is inside the text window (in X terminology this window has the focus), the characters typed are inserted at the current position, which is the cursor position. You can change the cursor position within the text with keyboard commands or with a mouse left button click after moving the pointer to the desired point.
