Example 3
When you use some of the soft key
menus~
you will see how some softkeys not only echo
a command onto the command line, they enable you to begin inserting within quotes.
Example 3 shows you how to do this with the MOVELINES command.
1.
EDIT KEY 1
~
2. (]5lli}-1
Clear line
I (to clear the line)
3.
I
CTRL
H
Shift
H
Clear line
I
MOVELINES
1111.1111
TO
1111
~>[;3>[;3>[;3>[;3>[;3>[;3>[;3>[;3>[;3>[;3>[;3+
where
L3H
represents:
I
CTRL
~(]5lli}-G
[;3>
represents: I
CTRL
~G,
and
[;3+
represents:
I
CTRL
H
Insert char
I
4.
Press
I
Return
I
Now, when you press key 1, the command line prints the MOVELINES command and
lets you insert in the first double quotes. The
L3H
moves the cursor to the beginning of
the line; the
[;3>
moves the cursor 11 spaces to the right (to the first set of double quotes),
and the
[;3+
puts you in the insert mode.
Memory Available for Typing-Aid Definitions
There is approximately 1024 bytes of memory used by the system for the purpose of
storing the typing-aid soft key definitions. Since there is a small amount of overhead
required for each key, there is actually only about 1000 bytes available for keystrokes.
The maximum number of characters you can put into each definition is 256 characters.
However, if you produce a 256-character typing-aid soft key
definition~on
a system with
a high-resolution display
and thrn try to
edd
it on a systrm with a medium-resolution
display, you will only be able to get 160 characters into the modified typing-aid definition.
There is also an additional restriction: attempting to use a softkey definition that contains
more characters than will fit into the Keyboard Input Line will result in lost characters.
