Description

The _ekeymap.utl utility is an interactive keyboard configuration program used to edit the following keymap values:

  • Customize standard keystrokes; for example, to change the <HELP> key from F1 (the default) to F3 to match WordPerfect's Help key.

  • Define application-specific keystrokes and optional programs to associate with them.

    • Parameter

    Description

    application_code$

    Application code to be used as part of the key for keymap records.

    If this parameter is not passed to _ekeymap.utl, the global string (APPLICATION) is checked for. If this string does not exist, the application code defaults to "TAOS"+(LANGUAGE). The (LANGUAGE) global string is normally set up in the configuration file for TAOS or the EUS Toolkit. The application code may be up to 10 characters long.
