-
-
- Sorry, there is not yet a long english documentation. Here, you
- find the most important things you should know about DisKey. For
- a better documentation you should wait until the final release
- or learn German... :-)
-
-
- Shortcuts:
- ----------
-
- There are additional shortcuts supported, which are not visible in the
- menus.
-
- Tab If the ascii- or hexdisplay is active, it changes the
- active display to hex or ascii, respectively.
- Esc If the ascii- or hexdisplay is active, it will be
- disactivated, so you are able to reach gadgets with
- normal characters. If no display is active, the ascii- or
- hex-display, which was active before, will be reactivated.
- a,A If no display is activate, the ascii-display will be
- activated.
- x,X If no display is activate, the hex-display will be
- activated.
- Del Undoes the character under the cursor and goes one step
- to the right.
- Backspace Undoes the character under the cursor and goes one step
- to the left.

- RCommand-'.' These two shortcuts cycle the display line at the top of
- RCommand-',' the screen.
-
-
- Mouse Handling:
- ---------------
-
- - Clicking outside the editor fields disables both fields and
- enables gadget activision by typing a specific character.
- - Clicking into the last message field or into the cycle gadget
- field while its text is too large to be completely shown, will
- scroll it to the left or right, which depends on where you
- click.
-
-
- Gadgets:
- --------
-
- You can cycle the cyclegadget by pressing RAmiga+. or RAmiga+,
-
- The stringgadgets have some extra features, too:
- - If you enter nothing, no change will be done.
- - If you enter "#", the old value will be displayed decimal.
- - If you enter "$", the old value will be displayed hexadecimal.
-
-
- Requesters:
- -----------
-
- There are many requesters in DisKey. If you want to answer using your
- keyboard, there are the following possibilities:
-
- Ok: - LAmiga-V (or whatever you've choosen in your preferences)
- - <RETURN>
- Cancel: - LAmiga-B (or whatever you've choosen in your preferences)
- - <ESC>
-
-
- Flags:
- ------
-
- The meaning of the flags in the titlebar are:
-
- M: Block was modified
- L: DisKey is just learning a macro
- W: Disk is write protected
- I: Disk is inhibited
-
- Upper case letters mean TRUE, lower case letters FALSE.
-
-
- Filesystem modules:
- -------------------
-
- As you might have seen, DisKey also works with some external FileSystem
- modules. This allows e. g. to handle MessyDos-Disks in an easy way.
- For now, DisKey has three built-in modules: one for DOS/0 to DOS/5,
- one for Kickstart disks and one dummy module, which handles everything
- a bit. Additionally, there is a rdskfs.dkfs available, which handles
- rigid disk blocks and an iso9660.dkfs in development, which will handle
- ISO9660 CD-ROMs
-
-
- ARexx and macros:
- -----------------
-
- Most of them should work. Try it! Please refer to "Rexx" for more
- information. Sometimes, you won't get a rexx error, even if there
- was an error. I know that there are many places with missing
- error return values. Just report all these things and I'll fix it.
- For now, I was too lazy to got through all the sources to check
- for error results.
-
