Nondefinable Keys You can define all keys on the LK201 and VT100-series keyboards -- except the following: BREAK COMPOSE CHARACTER CTRL (by itself) LOCK or CAPS LOCK HOLD SCREEN SET-UP SHIFT On the LK401 keyboard you also cannot define the ALT FUNCTION key. While DECTPU does not prevent you from defining keys F1 through F5 or the ESCAPE key, the code bound to these keys cannot be executed. The PF1 key is the default DECTPU shift key. You cannot define PF1 unless you specify a different shift key by using SET(SHIFT_KEY...). You can define and execute the following keys using the DECwindows interface. You can also define the keys on character-cell terminals -- although doing so is not recommended because you can execute the keys only under special terminal settings, as follows: CTRL/C, CTRL/O, To execute a procedure or program bound to CTRL/X, and F6 one of these keys on a character-cell terminal, you must have entered the DCL command SET TERMINAL/PASTHRU. CTRL/T and CTRL/Y To execute a procedure or program bound to either of these keys on a character-cell terminal, you must have entered the DCL command SET TERMINAL/PASTHRU or SET TERMINAL/NOCONTROL. CTRL/Q and CTRL/S To execute a procedure or program bound to either of these keys on a character-cell terminal, you must have entered the DCL command SET TERMINAL/NOTTSYNC. Defining CTRL/M or RETURN affects the other as well. Similarly, defining CTRL/I or TAB affects the other as well. The EVE editor has the same restrictions as DECTPU, except EVE does not let you redefine RETURN, does not let you define typing keys (unless used with a modifier such as GOLD or CTRL), and lets you redefine the DO key only if you have defined another key as DO. Also, EVE does not have a default shift key (or GOLD key), so PF1 can be defined. (For more information, see EVE help on SET GOLD KEY.) Related topics DEFINE_KEY KEY_NAME KEYNAMES TABLE SHIFT_KEY
