Key Mapping Directives


These directives allow you to change the keys used for command-line 
editing and other internal functions.  They are divided into four types, 
depending on the context in which the keys are used.  For a discussion and 
list of directives for each type see: 
            General Input Keys 
            Command-Line Editing Keys 
            Popup Window Keys 
            LIST Keys 
 
 Using a key mapping directive allows you to assign a different or 
 additional key to perform the function described.  For example, to use 
 function key F3 to invoke the HELP facility (normally invoked with F1): 

 
         Help = F3
 
 
 Any directive can be used multiple times to assign multiple keys to the 
 same function.  For example: 

 
         ListFind = F            ;F does a find in LIST
         ListFind = F5           ;F5 also does a find in LIST
 
 
 Use some care when you reassign keystrokes.  If you assign a default key 
 to a different function, it will no longer be available for its original 
 use.  For example, if you assign F1 to the AddFile directive (a part of 
 filename completion), the F1 key will no longer invoke the help system, 
 so you will probably want to assign a different key to Help. 
 See Keys and Key Names before using the key mapping directives. 
 Key assignments are processed before looking for keystroke aliases.  For 
 example, if you assign Shift-F1 to HELP and also assign Shift-F1 to a key 
 alias, the key alias will be ignored. 
 Assigning a new keystroke for a function does not deassign the default 
 keystroke for the same function.  If you want to deassign one of the 
 default keys, use the NormalKey directive described below or the 
 corresponding directive for keys in the other key groups (NormalEditKey, 
 NormalPopupKey, or NormalListKey).
