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. +------------------------------------------------------------------+ | For a list of defined keys, see help on Keys or press GOLD-HELP. | | | | For a keypad diagram, press HELP (with VT100 keypad, press PF2). | +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Related topics: Gold Keys Names For Keys Section Files Typing Keys DEFINE KEY SET NOGOLD KEY SHOW KEY UNDEFINE KEY
