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.
