    Setting

    		 Description
      None With this setting the text box does not process any of the arrow keys, and any arrow key pressed is passed to the parent control.
      Arrows With this setting the text box processes the keyboard arrow keys as long as the Ctrl key is not pressed. The left and right arrow keys move the cursor one small text unit left or right. If the text is on multiple lines, up and down arrow keys move the cursor up or down one line at a time. The combination of Ctrl key and any arrow key is passed to the parent control. If the text is not multiple line, up and down arrow keys are passed to the parent control.
      CtrlArrows With this setting the text box processes the keyboard arrow keys only when the Ctrl key is also pressed. The Ctrl-left and Ctrl-right arrow keys move the cursor one small text unit left or right. Ctrl-up and Ctrl-down arrow keys do nothing. Arrow keys without the Ctrl key are passed to the parent control. If the text is not on multiple lines, then Ctrl-up and Ctrl-down are passed to the parent control.
      AllArrows

    With this setting the text box processes all the keyboard arrow keys. This is essentially both Arrows and CtrlArrows combined. Both up and down as well as Ctrl-up and Ctrl-down key combinations are allowed. 

    If text is on multiple lines:

    • Up and down arrow keys move the cursor one line at a time
    • Left and right arrow keys move the cursor one small text unit
    • Ctrl-up and Ctrl-down arrow keys do nothing
    • Ctrl-left and Ctrl-right arrow keys move the cursor by one large text unit

    If text is not on multiple lines, up, down, Ctrl-up and Ctrl-down are passed to the parent control.

    AllArrowsIgnoringMultiline     

    With this setting the text box the keyboard arrow keys similar to AllArrows with the added feature of allowing both up and down arrow keys and Ctrl-up and Ctrl-down arrow key combinations for both multiple lines and single lines.

    If the text is on multiple lines, it is the same as for AllArrows.

    If text is not on multiple lines,

    • Up and down arrow keys move left and right by one small text unit
    • Ctrl-up and Ctrl-down move the cursor left or right by one larger unit

    This is the most inclusive setting and allows any arrow key (or Ctrl and arrow key combination) regardless of whether there are multiple lines (and the Multiline property setting in some cell types).
