Additional Keyboard shortcuts

EasiWriter and TechWriter Pro+ versions use the UKey module written by David Pilling to whom we are grateful for permission to use it. It means that the following key combinations are now available:

New Menu Keys

Nine new menu key shortcuts are added. The shortcut names needed to identify these in MenuData are:

Qualifier Tab Insert End
(none) - Insert -
Shift - S-Insert S-End
Ctrl C-Tab C-Insert C-End
Shift-Ctrl SC-Tab SC-Insert SC-End

Note: SC and CS are interchangeable; Shift-Tab is now recognised, but is reserved for use in tables to indicate a <tab> inserted within a cell.

For convenience these are split into keypad (NumLock on and off) and non-keypad keys, although it should be noted that the application is not told the state of the lock key when the key is sent, it is just sent different key codes by the keyboard driver.

NumLock Off

Qualifier 0 .. 9 . / * - + Enter
(none) N-0 .. N-9 N-. N-/ N-* N- N-+ -
Shift SN-0 .. SN-9 SN-. SN-/ SN-* SN- SN-+ SN-Enter
Ctrl CN-0 .. CN-9 CN-. CN-/ CN-* CN- CN-+ CN-Enter
Shift-Ctrl SCN-0 .. SCN-9 SCN-. SCN-/ SCN-* SCN- SCN-+ SCN-Enter

Enter (unqualified) is reserved to mean the same as Shift-Return start new line.

NumLock On

Qualifier Ins End Dn PgUp Left Right Up
(none) N-Insert N-End N-Down - N-Left N-Right N-Up
Shift SN-Insert SN-End SN-Down SN-PageUp SN-Left SN-Right SN-Up
Ctrl CN-Insert CN-End CN-Down CN-PageUp CN-Left CN-Right CN-Up
Shift-Ctrl SCN-Insert SCN-End SCN-Down SCN-PageUp SCN-Left SCN-Right SCN-Up

Plus those from the last 5 columns of the NumLock Off table.
