NewKeyMap

Script

SYNTAX

NewKeyMap

DESCRIPTION

This script defines an alternate keyboard mapping that you may prefer to the default mapping. It begins by invoking the "SetKey -r" command, which establishes the default keyboard mappings. Subsequent "SetKey" commands define the new key equivalents.

The SetKey command allows you to assign keyboard equivalents for built-in commands, scripts, tools, and editor primitives. Because the NewKeyMap script is simply a list of SetKey commands, you can open and modify it to meet your own needs, or use it as a model for other customization scripts.
