  Names For Keys

  You can type key names for DEFINE KEY, SET GOLD KEY, SHOW KEY, and
  UNDEFINE KEY---for example, when defining keys in an initialization file.

  EVE key names are usually the same as the label on the keys. Here is a
  list of some exceptions or special cases:

     Keynames               Labels                Keynames      Locations
     ----------------------------                 ----------------------
     F15 or HELP            Help                  UP            up arrow
     F16 or DO              Do                    LEFT          left arrow
     E1  or FIND            Find                  DOWN          down arrow
     E2  or INSERT_HERE     Insert Here           RIGHT         right arrow
     E3  or REMOVE          Remove                KP0...KP9     keypad
     E4  or SELECT          Select                MINUS         keypad
     E5  or PREV_SCREEN     Prev Screen           COMMA         keypad
     E6  or NEXT_SCREEN     Next Screen           PERIOD        keypad
     DELETE or DEL_KEY      <X] or DELETE         ENTER         keypad
     BS or CTRL/H           BACKSPACE             M1...M3       mouse
     LF or CTRL/J           LINEFEED

  Usage notes:

  o  In specifying key combinations, use a dash, slash, or underscore as a
     delimiter in the key name---for example, GOLD-A, CTRL/A, or ALT_A.

  o  You can specify CTRL as CONTROL (or an abbreviation of this) or as the
     circumflex (^). For example, CTRL/A, CONTROL/A, and ^A are the same.

  o  You can abbreviate the names of other keys. For example, G-REM is a
     valid abbreviation for GOLD-REMOVE on the mini keypad, but G-R is an
     abbreviation for GOLD-R on the keyboard.

  o  On DECwindows, you can use shifted function keys (such as SHIFT/F14)
     and ALT key combinations (such as ALT/Z or ALT/F10). The COMPOSE
     CHARACTER key is the ALT key on older keyboards; to enter a compose
     character sequence on DECwindows, use ALT/SPACE. Some newer keyboards
     have a separate ALT key.

  o  Some EVE key names are different from the key names used in TPU
     procedures---for example:

        In EVE commands        In TPU procedures
        ------------------------------------------------
        GOLD-A                 KEY_NAME ("A", SHIFT_KEY)
        GOLD-COMMA             KEY_NAME (COMMA, SHIFT_KEY)
        GOLD-,                 KEY_NAME (",", SHIFT_KEY)
        CTRL/A                 CTRL_A_KEY
        SHIFT/F14              KEY_NAME (F14, SHIFT_MODIFIED)
        ALT/A                  KEY_NAME ("A", ALT_MODIFIED)

  o  For information about defining mouse buttons (M1, M2, M3), see help on
     Mouse.

  o  EVE does not let you redefine the RETURN key or CTRL/M. You may not be
     able to define other keys, such as F1 through F6 and some control keys,
     because those keys may be trapped by the operating system, depending on
     your terminal settings. See help on TPU Nondefinable Keys.
