*Terminal Dependent: The default will depend on the termcap settings. However, on many terminals, these are usually Shift+F1 through Shift+F8, or F11 and F12 may be used for App1 and App2.
Keys labeled (Edit) in the Key Value tables above are tied to the input routine and never pass a value to an application program.
Input Keys
Keys labeled (Input) cause an action to take place within the input program, as follows:
-
<HELP> calls online help, based on parameters passed to the input program (See
_ninput.utl.) -
<GOLDKEY>, also called a META key, is used to extend the set of characters available for mapping. This is always used in combination with another key. <GOLDKEY> is mapped to F3 by default.
-
<HOTKEY> calls a menu named
_hotkey and isshipped with the following options:
|
Option |
Utility Called |
|---|---|
|
(C) Calculator |
(BBSTD) |
|
(K) Modify Keymap |
(BBEXT) |
|
(L) Display Last Error |
(BBEXT) |
|
(S) System Command |
(BBEXT) |
|
(N) Configuration Editor |
|
Edit these options by modifying the _hotkey menu with _msedit.utl.
<VERSION> can be used to display a short message containing the software name and version in a window.
These values are stored internally as:
|
The information in STBL("!TREG") is ignored if the string table variable is not set.
All other keys, not labeled (Edit) or (Input), pass a CTLVAL value back to the application in the CTLVAL variable. It is up to the application program to interpret this CTLVAL value.
The _lkeymap.utl program makes the key label names available to the application program via global strings. This permits the creation of help prompts such as:
|
This help prompt, along with the default keymap, is displayed as:
"Press F4 to update or F2 to cancel."
These global string table variables are named as "#F", plus the associated CTLVAL value.
