- Keys - a keyboard macro utility.
- Copyrite 1989, by SLADE software.
-
- This is public domain software in the purest sense:
- change it, copy it, mangle it to your heart's content,
- and don't blame us if your machine dislikes it.
-
- Usage:
-
- keys [filename]
-
- Where [filename] is an optional macro definition file. You do not
- need to RUN it, Keys detaches itself from the CLI after it loads.
-
-
- Description
-
- Keys allows you to redefine every key on the keyboard, with the
- exception of the Escape, ^, \, and Keypad enter key. Because this
- substitution is done on the input.event level, the redefinition
- should be transparent to any program.
-
- To get to Keys after it is loaded, just type LeftAmiga-Help from
- any window or screen, and the Keys window will appear at the top.
- To leave the Keys window, hit the escape key.
-
- Qualifiers and special keys:
- All qualifiers and special keys must be preceeded by a backslash
- '\' character, and either upper or lower case may be used.
-
-
- Qualifiers
- \c control
- \a alt*
- \s shift*
- \l Left amiga
- \r Right amiga
- \\ backslash
-
- Special keys
- \k keypad
- \f function
- \h help key
- \^ cursor
-
- * Keys uses lower case to indicate left key, and upper case to
- indicate right key.
-
- Qualifiers can be in any order, but the special keys MUST be last
- on the line, which prohibits things like \f10\k0, which is not a
- single key.
-
-
- Bugs && other stuff
- - The keypad Enter key cannot be redefined. You may redefine the
- escape, / and ^ keys, but it will really mess things up!
-
- - It is impossible to define a macro using just qualifiers - they
- must be tied to a character. This applies to the definition and
- the activation key. If you need a non printing character for a
- dummy, use \a\ch (alt ^H).
-
- - The syntax is a bit kludgy, but no better way came to mind.
-
- - If you have more than a screen full of macro definitions, you
- will not see them - the view screen does not scroll.
-
- - Keys is only accurate for standard U.S. keyboards.
