SET GOLD KEY
Defines a key as the GOLD key for use with other keys, and enables some
GOLD key sequences. You can type the key name on the command line or let
EVE prompt you to press the key you want to set as GOLD.
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 Setting the GOLD key---by itself or by setting the EDT or WPS keypad---
automatically defines some GOLD sequences for the arrow keys, mini
keypad, HELP, and F13. These are sometimes called "sleeper" keys,
because they are defined by default but must be "awakened" by setting
the GOLD key. For a list of these keys, see help on Gold Keys.
o You can have only one key set as GOLD at a time. The EDT or WPS keypad
makes PF1 the GOLD key, overriding any current definition of PF1.
However, if you set a different key as the GOLD key, then the EDT or
WPS keypad uses your GOLD key. In such case, SET NOGOLD KEY restores
PF1 as the EDT or WPS GOLD key.
o SET GOLD KEY overrides any current definition of the specified key,
whether EVE default, EDT, WPS, or your own. The definition remains in
effect throughout your editing session or until you change it.
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 your SET GOLD KEY command and other key-definition commands in
an initialization file (typically named EVE$INIT.EVE). See help on
Initialization Files.
