GOLD Keys
The GOLD key increases the possible key bindings for function keys,
control keys, and typing keys. You press GOLD and then another key.
Example:
The following commands set PF1 as the GOLD key and then define the
sequence of GOLD and the letter C (or c) as CENTER LINE. Typing the
letter by itself still enters that character.
Command: SET GOLD KEY pf1
Command: DEFINE KEY= gold-c center line
Usage notes:
o In naming GOLD key sequences, use a dash, slash, or underscore---for
example, GOLD-PF2, GOLD-F20, GOLD-KP0, and so on. Key names are not
case-sensitive (for example, GOLD-A and GOLD-a are the same). See help
on Names For Keys).
o EVE does not have a default GOLD key. Using SET GOLD KEY, SET KEYPAD
EDT, or SET KEYPAD WPS defines the following GOLD key sequences---
sometimes called "sleeper" keys because they are defined by default but
must be enabled by setting the GOLD key:
Key Sequences Definitions
----------------------------------------------------------------------
GOLD-F13 ............. Restore Word OR WPS Delete Beginning Sentence
GOLD-HELP ............ Help Keys (list of definitions)
GOLD-FIND ............ Wildcard Find
GOLD-INSERT_HERE ..... Restore [NOTE: The EDT or WPS
GOLD-REMOVE .......... Store Text keypad defines some
GOLD-SELECT .......... Reset additional GOLD key
GOLD-PREV_SCREEN ..... Previous Window sequences, and lets
GOLD-NEXT_SCREEN ..... Next Window you use GOLD-number
GOLD-UP arrow ........ Top sequences for repeat
GOLD-LEFT arrow ...... Start Of Line counts or uses.]
GOLD-DOWN arrow ...... Bottom
GOLD-RIGHT arrow ..... End Of Line
o The EDT or WPS keypad makes PF1 the GOLD key, unless you set a
different key as GOLD. You can have only one key set as the GOLD key.
Also, if you define keys that are otherwise defined by EDT or WPS, such
as GOLD-PF4, your definitions override the EDT or WPS definitions.
o To keep your GOLD key and other key definitions for future editing
sessions, do either of the following:
* Use SAVE EXTENDED EVE to create a section file which saves your key
definitions in binary form---in effect, your own customized version
of EVE. See help on Section Files.
* Put SET GOLD KEY and other key-definition commands in an
initialization file (typically named EVE$INIT.EVE). See help on
Initialization Files.
