- I suppose you've all heard it: Atari has official key code guidelines.
- Of course, we couldn't expect them to come up with REASONABLE propositions:
-
- code operation objection
-
- ^O Open OK
- ^N New file All right
- ^Q Quit Of course
- ^F Find Sure
- ^G Find Next Fine
- ^H Replace ??? Never heard of this. I thought it was
-
- ^R Replace
- ^T Replace Next
-
- OK. What I did in my text editor is this: you use search all which
- marks all the targets that are found. (Multiple selections are NOT
- easy to implement...) Then you use ^H which replaces a multiple
- text buffer (filled in by the search routine with either one replacement,
- or in case of regexp s&r, a different replacement for each item found)
- with the selected fragments that were found.
-
- ^W Close Window Well God D******* why this? I thought ^W was cycle windows
- and (maybe only in Germany, but after all that is the leading ST territory)
- ^U was close window. OK, I implemented ^U for close window as well as
- ^W, and put cycle windows on Alt-Q. (With all possible dangers of someone
- accidentally using Control-Q :)
-
- This is all as far as I remember. They could have specified more, though,
- to my taste. Does anybody have any suggestions/comments to what I've written?
- Shouln't we **.tech readers make a more extensive list with more elaborate
- comments like I've done here, and then distribute it widely (somewhat like the
- picture format document that went round the world some years ago)?
