- Instead of using EDT (which is what /edit gives you), use TPU instead:
-
- $ edit/tpu
-
- That will put you in the EVE editor using the numeric keypad
- where pressing KP0 thru KP9 will insert digits. You can then switch
- to the EDT keypad by pressing the DO key and entering the command
- SET KEYPAD EDT. To get back to the numeric keypad, enter the command
- SET KEYPAD NUMERIC. Your users will most likely prefer EVE over EDT
- once they've used EVE (I'm a former EVE developer, so excuse my EVE bigotry).
- Have them press DO and enter the command HELP EDT DIFFERENCES to see how
- the EDT keypad in EVE differs from the real thing.
